Pray Consistently

Good morning 

Scripture reading: 1 Thess 5:16-28

Worship song: Pray On

 

Meditation:

    1 Thess 5 reminds us to 'pray without ceasing'. Prayer should be our main priority. Daniel knew the importance of prayer, and so he prayed to God three times per day, even when the new law signed by King Darius forbid praying to any god or man unless they were praying to him. Jehovah God does not force us to pray or set limits about how often we pray, but we should take into consideration that prayer is the way to communicate with our Heavenly Father through the leading of the Holy Spirit. The decision to pray and how often we connect with God through prayer is a decision that each person should make. We also can determine what, when, and where we will pray. Many people have the concept that prayer is done only in the morning, at night, before meals, during church services, or when we are in trouble. Prayer can be done at any time and as often as possible. We should always be in an attitude of prayer throughout the day, pray often, persevere in prayer, and not faint. Remember, prayer is a privilege God has given us; therefore, the onus is on us to exercise that privilege. We have Jesus invitation to communicate with Him through prayer. When we pray with a sincere heart, asking anything according to the will of God, he will hear and answer us. Through prayer, requests are granted, burdens are lifted, giants defeated, and breakthrough deliverance will become our testimonies. Make prayer your main priority.

 Let us pray:

    Jehovah God, we give you thanks this morning for the opportunity we have to connect with you through our advocate, Jesus Christ. At times, we become reluctant and complacent. We become so caught up with work and personal activities that we do not find time to pray. Abba Father, I pray that we will develop the habit of praying constantly and that we will never cease to communicate with you through prayer. Abba Father, we recognized the importance of prayer and ask that you help us through the leading of the Holy Spirit to pray without ceasing. Father, we understand that praying is our responsibility, but sometimes we fail to carry out this task, and so, Father, as we bow to pray this morning, may we be directed by the Holy Spirit to pray as the spirit leads through Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.

Have a peaceful day. Blessings. 💕🙏
