Save

Years ago when I read first the scripture, ‘…pray without ceasing…’, I thought to myself; Paul exaggerates, surely no one prays without ever ceasing. However, I Praise God to have lived long enough to have found, for me, a clarity of this verse. Considering that God doesn’t need anything, and that when He asks us to do something it is for our benefit and not His, I’ve come to this conclusion; We are to strive to always walk in the spirit of ‘prayer’… the spirit of ‘communicating’ with…God, letting our lives be a ‘prayer without ceasing’ to Him.

As we walk… may the movement of every Limb remind us of Him As we ponder… may our questing minds…ever reaching remind us of His teaching As we gaze… may we revel in the power of …nature's ardor… that refreshes us…by His artistry’s grandeur As we progress… may we never doubt…Who…hovers over… proving…His Faithfulness is green…like clover As we consider… the earth’s distress of wars and conflicting coils be thankful His Love still flows…with healing oils And, as we live daily… believe…He hears…with strength ever leasing… each 'prayer'…without ceasing 1Thess 5:17 copyright; jmsbell-5/6/19

Wow!!! What an eye opening poem, pray without ceasing. God does answer prayers. I’ve struggled with the praying without ceasing but I prayerfully ask for such an anointing. Maybe you can pray for me to receive the spirit of ceaseless prayer. I pray everyday but I feel I can do much more than that.

Prayer is not just saying prayers, it can be in everything that we do and everything that we accomplish. When the flower blooms, it praises God and prayers, and that's true for all of nature. Ceaseless prayer is the example set in nature.
