…pray continually… (1 Thessalonians 5:17, NIV)
Just when I woke up, I slid to the laptop and entered NationStates. Out of the blue (thanks, God) I found a prayer chain on the sidebar. Oddity of oddities! Who would be such of a nut to do that!? (Cue thinking in amusement!) I clicked there, and someone decided to start the chain for the benefit of prayer. What amused me was the gall of some spamming the thread, but the dexterity of them to keep going!
“Pray continually”, or in another version, “pray without ceasing”, was the command Paul gave to the people in 1 Thessalonians. They were in need of uprooting and alerted of the Lord’s incoming return. After all, we are to be joyful, thankful, grateful, and humble servants, and even more!
…And I lost track. Sorry! Where was I? Oh! Prayer!
Padre, I know and realize that I am risking it (the prayer), but be glorified in my life. Forgive my sins, forgive my guilt, make me anew. Show the way to many in need, lost, or confused. I pray for my dreams, goals, and aspirations, and other’s drams, goals, and aspirations. I pray for the people, the freedom, hope, love, grace, and truth. I pray for our life in You, as I want to live. In Your name, according to Your will…
I guess we have to start bending down again!
