Pray without ceasing...- 1 Thessalonians 5:17 "Our thinking about prayer, whether right or wrong, is based on our own mental conception of it. The correct concept is to think of prayer as the breath in our lungs and the blood from our hearts. Our blood flows and our breathing continues "without ceasing"; we are not even conscious of it, but it never stops...Prayer is not an exercise, it is the life of the saint. Beware of anything that stops the offering up of prayer. "Pray without ceasing..." Maintain the childlike habit of offering up prayer in your heart to God all the time." - excerpted from My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers I've really been convicted of thinking of prayer as a lifestyle lately. We always speak of worship not as an action, but of a lifestyle and I think the same applies to prayer. It's something that Jesus lived out daily; in fact, He couldn't live without it. I think it's definately something that we should try and exemplify. Anyways, I'll share more later, since I have to get back to work. Have a great weekend. posted by jamescl | 9:08 AM
