Pray Without Ceasing

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. 

                 God's will for us is to pray without ceasing and prayer is not always asking our needs to God. It is praising, repenting, aligning to His will, yielding to Him, expecting in faith and resting in His presence.  Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving - Colossians 4:2.

Praise

Begin prayer by praising God

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name - Psalm 100:4.

Repent

Repent to God in prayer

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness - 1 John 1:9.

Align to God's will

Prayer is not only asking about what we desire but also according to what God desires

Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us - 1 John 5:14.

Yield to God completely

Surrender every plan to God

Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done - Luke 22:42.

Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass - Psalm 37:5.

Expect in faith

Trust God's promises & believe even before answer for prayer appears

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them - Mark 11:24.

Rest in God's presence

Listen to God's voice by resting in His presence 

Be still, and know that I am God - Psalm 46:10.

                                                                                   

    

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us pray without ceasing. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
