Pray without ceasing... 1 Thessalonians 5:17 KJV

Penulis : A. James on Friday, July 29, 2011 | 9:20 AM

Many people believe you must stop, find a quiet place, get down on your knees, and bow your head before you can pray. Not true.

This verse states that we should 'pray without ceasing'. When you are driving down the road, talk to God aloud or in your thoughts. This can be done no matter where you are such as: out for a run or walk, in the shower, watching your kids at soccer, at your work desk, fixing dinner, cutting hair, doing nails, grocery shopping, and so on.

Throughout your day, keep God in your thoughts at all times and speak with Him. He is always there. It is us that tend to wander away from Him.

I love this approach to drawing closer to God. Mother Teresa spoke of this, as well. I can't think of a better way to cope with the stress of daily life than to clear the mind of the noise and clutter and pray without ceasing.

God's Word... Not Just a Book

I keep my Bible (opened) by my bed at all times because there is no protection better, aside from God Himself, to have closeby. God's Word is powerful. Keep that in mind if you are feeling scared, depressed, sick, lonely, or even the happiest you've ever been. Try it...place your opened Bible by your bed before you close your eyes at night and see if you can feel what I mean.

As for what it brings me...well, it keeps me sane and gives me piece-of-mind along with the courage I need in my everyday life and that is when I am not reading it! Just knowing it is within reach gives me a sense of contentment.

The words inside give me so much more.... Thank you, God, for giving us not just a book, but your Word.
