Pray Without Ceasing

1 Thess 5:15See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 16Rejoice evermore. 17Pray without ceasing. 18In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 19Quench not the Spirit. 20Despise not prophesyings. 21Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22Abstain from all appearance of evil.

I wanted to share with you something the Lord brought to my mind yesterday about "pray without ceasing."  Why would the Lord tell us to pray without ceasing?  Because He never intends to answer us?  Because He likes us to do futile things?  To frustrate us?  No to all these things.  He tells us to pray without ceasing so we may receive AN ANSWER to our needs.

Ask, seek, knock, why would the Lord tell us to do these things?  To get AN ANSWER from Him.  Our God does not speak idle Words.  If He said it He meant it and He meant it for our good.

So pray without ceasing offering up a multitude of prayers and requests and do so with thanksgiving.

This world may be entering into unprecedented troubled times in the days ahead.  If that is so we will need the Lord to answer many prayers and requests and to show us His tender mercies every day.

Keep the faith.  grace and peace
