In 1 Thessalonians 5:17 - Paul says to pray without ceasing - never stop - never give up on your prayer - be constant - stubborn with your prayers. That does not mean that you should avoid other tasks in life - rather - even when doing everyday activities - do those in a prayerful way. When driving on a congested road - pray for patience - when helping others - pray that your efforts - glorify God - in everything you do - with all that you help - make those efforts - a form of prayer.
Jesus showed His disciples that prayer was key to their relationship with His Father. In this season of Lent - our number one task - drawing closer to God. The best way to connect - communicate with God - through prayer. When you take time to improve your prayer life - expand the time spent in prayer - learn new prayers - include more people in your prayer intentions - your prayers become deeper - fuller - add more substance not only to your prayer life - also the life you are seeking to live. Consider these days of Lent - your prayer workshop.
