"Be joyful always; pray continually, give thanks in ALL (emphasis mine) circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 2 Thess 5:17.
How wonderful to KNOW that we can always be joyful because of all the Lord has done & is doing for us! We are SO blessed in so many ways, but esp. to know that the Lord is ALWAYS with us!
How wonderful to know that we can practice His presence throughout the day, being aware that He is continually and constantly surrounding us with His power, presence & provision. Praying w'o ceasing means lifting up our gratefulness, requests, asking forgiveness, etc. throughout the day, being aware that wherever we are, whatever we're doing, God is with us and we can, and should, talk to Him!
How wonderful to know that the Lord is working out His perfect will and plan in our lives and we can always trust Him to do what's best for us....for our good & for His glory! Praise His Holy Name!!
"Be still and know that I am God" Psalm 46:10. How often do we take time out during our busy days to actually be still before the Lord. How can we get to know someone if we don't take time out to be with them and to talk to them? It's more important that we get to know God than anyone else in this whole world!!
What an awesome privilege & honor we have to be able to communicate with the Creator of the universe!!
Let's remember that prayer is the most powerful weapon we have against the enemy of our souls.
