Pray without CEASING.....

ROMANS 12:12 NRSV
12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer.

Prayer is a habit that, like every other good habit, must be developed.

You know you need to pray. You need God's help, His wisdom and His guidance.
But you must persevere in prayer. The activities of life try to keep you
from praying. So persevere!

LUKE 21:36 BBE
36 But keep watch at all times with prayer, that you may be strong enough to
come through all these things and take your place before the Son of man.

In communing with God, you gain strength that comes in no other way. You
find the wisdom and courage to face life and overcome.

1 THESSALONIANS 5:17-18 ICB
17 Never stop praying.
18 Give thanks whatever happens. That is what God wants for you in Christ
Jesus.

Learn to always include God in your thoughts. Ask Him about everything.
Cultivate your relationship by continual communication. And one of the most
important things for you to communicate to God is your gratitude. Thank God
for everything.

Don't relegate prayer to just when you're on your knees. As you go about
your activities, include God by constant communion with Him.

Talk to God about everything!

SAY THIS: Lord, help me to develop the habit of continual communication with you.
