Pray without ceasing.

1 Thessalonians 5:17

Pray without ceasing.

Many of us spend an immense amount of time in prayer. We pray in the morning, while in our vehicles, on our jobs and in the evenings before we go to sleep we pray. If this is you continue to go to your Father in everything and about everything. Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with praying. Which leads me to this; I was praying this morning and it dawn on me. Every time I go to God I’m asking Him for something. Whether big or small I’m asking Him for something. How often do we pray and just thank Him for something or just praise Him for being God.

King David understood this, if we were to read the book of Psalms we would see how he continually went to God and just praised and worshiped Him. Majority of the each chapter would often start with a form of praise for the most High God. I like to think that Psalms had so many chapters because when David started his prayer he never got around to asking for what he wanted because he was too busy thanking God for what He had already done. (Therefore extended into multiple chapters to make His request made Known unto God).

 

Grab and go: Try this: Next time you pray don’t ask for ANYTHING just Thank Him for EVERYTHING.
