Pray Without Ceasing

We are called to pray in every place. No matter where we are, what situation we are in, who we are with, or what time it is, the Lord desires that we are in an attitude of prayer. It is so beneficial to shut ourselves away in our prayer closet for intimate communion and deep fellowship with the Lord. It is equally profitable to be in constant touch with the Lord in every place in which we find ourselves, no matter what the circumstance of life we happen to be or in what company we are keeping. Jesus Himself is currently seated on the right hand of the Father, making intercession for us. The Holy Spirit Himself is currently making intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. The Son and the Spirit pray without ceasing. Should we not follow this example in our own lives? Always Strive not to be in a state of anger or argument when we pray. Our pleadings, petitions, prayers and thankful praise should not be from a heart that is harboring resentment or unforgiveness, anger or bitterness but from a heart that is holy and clean before the Lord, a heart that is gentle and gracious, a heart that is submissive before the Lord. God looks on the state of our heart. Praise God that we can approach the throne on grace boldly, and give over to Him all of our anger, anguish, resentment, and malice, making the way clear for us to life up holy hands and pour out our praises, petitions, and thankful worship to the Lord. Our Savior.

Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.

Our United Prayer:

Heavenly Father, search our hearts, that our beings may be pleasing in your sight. As we pray and lift up holy hands to You, we pray that, more and more, we become the people You desire us to be. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
