“Pray without CEASING” – 1 Thessalonians 5:17
Praying was never been too easy for me…whenever I pray, I can feel that there is a strong force that hinders me from praying.. I admit that not all the times, God is victorious in my life in terms of praying..Before I got converted and baptize as a Christian, I only pray because the school requires us..I don’t have that personal conversation with God.. though sometimes I tend to talk to Him in an informal way.. Even today, that I am a Christian ( it is not a guarantee that when you are already baptized you are excepted to this trials in praying, remember that Satan works tenfolds in our(Christians) lives just to win us) I am struggling in terms of praying.. To tell you honestly, my prayers are sequential, and whenever I pray, I can feel the bed is pulling me…BAD BED! hehe
Praying is like texting to God. We can’t deny the fact that we are addict in this. We should text God more often than anyone else. I am GUILTY of not doing this..My prayer life is stagnant and I’m still seeking for that intimate talk with God…it’s just that most of the times, I FAIL because I feel sleepy whenever I am praying..and sometimes I lose my focus whenever I am praying..it’s like my body is here on earth but my mind is flying to the moon! oh no! I am not saying this because I am proud, I am saying this because I DON’T WANT YOU to be LIKE ME! this is a shame for me…I do pray more often, YES, in the morning I say good morning to our FATHER in Heaven, and when I’m driving, and before I sleep but that is not enough,, I don’t think that PRAY WITHOUT CEASING meant like that..We should not pray for the sake of just praying, but pray WHOLEHEARTEDLY without ceasing..
I believe that in everything that we do, we should confess it to the Lord…We must admit that we CANNOT do ANYTHING…only GOD can..We should be dependent to Him and not on our own strength.. I was amazed because before I read my bible and my daily bread, I looked at the last page of my bible and I saw the quotation “there is nothing you can do until you pray” by pastor Ronilo Bating.. and then when I opened my bible I was shocked because the text is also about prayer..wow! hehe well I do not know if you can feel the amazement that I felt..=))
so guys, lift up everything in prayer…Prayer is sooooooooo POWERFUL I tell you that! 110% proven and tested! Try it for yourself…make 1 Thess. 5:17 your motto in life..and see for yourself the result of your prayers! we have a 24/7 unlimited call and text naman with God so there is no reason for us to not talk to Him..and please…pray DIRECTLY to God…NOT to just any other gods there..Jesus made it possible for us to have a direct contact with God…=))
God bless you! CIAO!
