Always Be Praying

Always be praying

HOW OFTEN SHOULD ONE PRAY?

Some pray at night.

Some pray in the morning.

Some pray before meals.

NONE of these are a bad thing–as far as it goes.

But is it sufficient?

The Bible is not silent about HOW OFTEN to pray.

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;”
–Luke 18:1

“Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”
–Luke 21:36

“Pray without ceasing.”
–1Thessalonians 5:17

“Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;”
–Colossians 4:2

“Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;”
–Ephesians 6:18

“Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;”
–Romans 12:12

“Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.”
–Philippians 4:4

“Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.”
–Acts 12:5

From the above references, it can seen that the VERY BEST PRAYER is the one which is CONSTANT and NEVER-ENDING.

It may be interrupted from time-to-time by the day’s activities and events, but it is one, long continuous prayer and unceasing paean to God Almighty.

It is a HABIT which is formed by daily observing what the Bible instructs believers to do. Many times, it offers relief in a world in which such relief is sorely lacking.

It is a continuing communication/lifeline with the only One who keeps us in this hard, wicked world.

THIS is how often the Bible instructs believers to pray.

Time is Running Out: Today is the Day of Salvation

THE GOSPEL

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16

“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3
