Pray Without Ceasing!

"Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." - 1 Thessalonians 5:17

"Christians who are much in secret prayer, and in meditation and contemplation, rather than they who are more in hearing, reading and conference, are men of greatest life and joy, because they are nearer the source of the fountain, and have all more immediately from God Himself." - Richard Baxter

My brothers and sisters, do not let up in your prayers but pour more of yourself to it.  Do you know how prideful you are?  That you, in your practice, live as though you are a god.  Because you lack in falling to your knees and crying out to the Lord, you act as one who is superior and lord, and yet quite the opposite is true.  You are weak, sinful, and unworthy and thus in all we do, we need to come before the Lord, seeking Him and His wisdom, righteousness, love, and grace.  When you get into your car to drive somewhere, who is governing your vehicle and your body?  Who sends the weather and maintains the roads?  The same questions can be posed for all of life.  The answer is the Lord God Almighty, maker of the heavens and the earth. Fly to Him often and you will be carried along by His grace.
