Pray Without Ceasing - 1 Thessalonians 5: 17

This is an amazing exhortation that comes from the apostle Paul as it shows the importance to pray and keep our eyes on the ball Nothing can really be achieved without being always in prayer indeed it's the believers vital breath for God knows without it life's bare Why do so many believers not pray? it's a contradiction if we believe I mean really pray not just for an hour for our inactivity makes God grieve In our list of what's important in life how high is prayer? God asks the question do we think we'll vget through just by a little don't kid ourselves only God sends direction Pray without ceasing by the holy spirit without God's spirit it can't be done be on our knees often and plenty plead for merciful grace from God's son A saint of old once did say what you are on your knees before God that's all you are and no more sobering words indeed, help us Lord! ('pray without ceasing,' - 1 Thessalonians 5: 17) (ESV) (I have written this with a deep conviction we need to be praying as God's church more than we are, I am not saying we do nothing else but spend all our lives praying as that's not practical but it should be the essence of our lives to be praying daily and often and if we were we may have more productive lives.)
