Living on Prayer

Ephesians 6:18, “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;”
 
Who has the time to always pray when most of us are so busy we barely or rarely pray? Here is some brutal honesty. Being “too busy to pray” is not a thing, but being too lazy or so backslidden as to not pray is real and deadly. Followers of Christ are in constant spiritual warfare, and if we do not joyfully obey this command, then we expose our neck to the enemy. Let’s order our hearts according to God’s Word so that our very lives become a prayer. Make prayer your life and your life a prayer while living in a frenetic world in desperate need of the Gospel.

 Three Prayer Tips:

  • Set aside time daily to pray. This doesn’t have to be a colossal amount of time, just a daily amount.
  • Pray throughout the day. If there is a need or a need to praise, offer it right then and there. This doesn’t require a show or everyone else’s participation. Just do it.
  • Pray “in the moment.” If someone specifically asks you to pray for a need, offer one with them in the moment if possible.
