Pray Without Ceasing
1 Thessalonians 5:16-8 "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
Have you ever felt so strongly about something that you prayed about it for days at a time? No, maybe we should. Prayer should become as natural to us a breathing. When we are faced with challenges and difficulties our first instinct should be to pray. Don't be in a rush to take action. Pray first, Pray before something happens, Pray while it is happening.
Let's focus on the importance of prayer. In our world today we are all fast paced. We are all in a rush, and looking for things to be quick. We make our decisions quicker now , and we go to God in prayer the same way. We are thinking that if we pray about it we will get a quick response. We think that if we are sick or feeling emotional or have some spiritual struggles, that God should answer us right away. Living in the age of Tik Tok and shorts where we are given just 1 minute or 3 minutes to decide on something has changed our ability to wait. These platforms have made us all extremely impatient. You can't go to GOD with a Tik Tok state of mind. His timing is not like ours, but HE is always on time.
But in 1 Thessalonians it urges us to pause and pray first. It urges us to pray about all things not just the ones we deem important enough to require a quick and urgent response. Prayer gives us time to step back and see the bigger picture. Sometimes the hardest part of a situation is letting go and letting God have his way. Prayer helps us to surrender our anxieties to God trusting that HIS plan is what we need.
Open yourself up to God, take the time throughout the day before things get too urgent, your fears are too big and your frustrations over take you. Continually go to God throughout the day giving HIM thanks for ALL circumstances. Slow down and listen for that still small voice within, trust me its there if you give it a chance. You never have to wonder where God is if you stay at HIS feet.
Let prayer be your go to today, if a minute is all you have give it to God. If you are the one who can spare three minutes gives those to God as well. He is the one who is able to do something about it. You will be surprised at how just a few minutes a day will feel so good that you will want more and more. Have a lil talk with Jesus and let him make it all right.
