Pray without ceasing

Good morning beloved

Let us pray without ceasing

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Amplified Bible

16 Rejoice always and delight in your faith; 17 be unceasing and persistent in prayer; 18 in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus

Praying without ceasing simply means we remain in a posture of faith, connected to God’s heart.

These are the times when we must pray and pray and pray.

Pray when we are happy

Pray when we are sad

Pray even when grieving

Prayers at the times of deepest sorrow births the greatest miracles

Romans 8:26/27

26 In the same way the Spirit [comes to us and] helps us in our weakness. We do not know what prayer to offer or how to offer it as we should, but the Spirit Himself [knows our need and at the right time] intercedes on our behalf with sighs and groanings too deep for words. 27 And He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because the Spirit intercedes [before God] on behalf of [c]God’s people in accordance with God’s will

Amen

Pour out your heart before God he hears you and he will not only hear you but answer you.

Amen

Hannah birthed a Prophetic Miracle in her heartfelt prayers unto the Lord (1 Samuel 1)

Jesus wept then raised Lazarus (John 11)

Jesus prayed with such deep anguish until sweat like blood poured from his body in the garden of Gethsemane. He gained strength to complete his assignment - the agony of the cross....the crucifixion

But what an amazing Victory - the Resurrection!

So grieve if you must, travail, agonise but do not stay in that place your prayers are birthing something wonderful and miraculous.

Faith means you always hope, are always expectant and continue to trust God because he is always up to something good.

Who can we run to? But God

Who will help us? God himself

For he is our very present help in trouble.

Pray fervently

God answers prayer

Here are some verses on Prayer

I John 5:14-15, “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.

Isaiah 65:24, “Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear

Matthew 7:7, “Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you.”

Matthew 21:22, “And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”

James 5

16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power].

Amen

Fervent Prayers birth God's will on earth as it is in heaven

Walk good in Christ

Till we meet again
