"Pray Without Ceasing"

Recently a friend of mine made a comment to me about prayer, I can’t remember exactly what we were talking about, she said something  about we’d be praying all the time. She was joking about it. But I’ve been thinking about prayer a lot lately. I think God wants us to pray as much as we can. Because praying is talking to God.

We meet people everyday, weather it be at work or at the grocery store, we meet people. What would be it be like to be praying for everyone you meet everyday?? We would always be praying, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says, “Pray without ceasing.” The definition of “ceasing” is To put an end to; discontinue. This verse is saying  without ceasing. Psalms 95:2 says  “Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.” Seriously, we have a lot to be thankful for. Let’s break it down a little, because a lot of people say, “oh yeah I’m thankful!” but are you really. Do you realize how blessed you are if you have clean water, a bed, clothes, food, and not to mention tv, movies, cell phones, laptops, iPods  and transportation? 1.6 billion people in the world live without electricity. That’s a quarter of the world. 640 million people are without adequate shelter, 400 million with no access to safe water, 270 million with no access to health services. Just think about how blessed you are to be able to get an education. 121 million children are out of education. In 2005 over half the world’s population made less than $2.50 a day. I don’t know about you but I’m one blessed girl. We are blessed beyond measure.

Also, this weeks memory verse is, Psalms 95:2 “Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him 
with psalms.”
