The Bible tells us of the many times people prayed. Time and time again those that prayed received comfort and hope when they most needed. The gospels tell many times when Jesus prayed. I imagine that walking with Jesus day in and day out would have given us a clear idea of how much Jesus valued prayer.
One verse that always encourages me to pray is 1 Thess. 5:17 “Pray continually.”
Pray. Communicating with God, talking and hearing him talk to us. Experience his guidance as we move through the day.
Continually. Without ceasing. Usually our prayers have a beginning and end “Dear God” and “Amen” The implication of this verse is to be aware of God’s presence at all times with us, his presence is uninterrupted and so should be our communication with him.
Today I want to encourage you to pray. If you have not done so in a long time, stop right now and pray to God. Begin that beautiful never ending conversation with God. Your prayers don’t have to be formulaic or in a specific tone, they have to be sincere and open. I hope you are experiencing the power of prayer.
