Recognizing the presence of Jesus can comfort us throughout each
day. Small prayers can be lifted up continually as we think of others, as we
come upon a new opportunity or circumstance, as we face a fear, or feel that
old worry snaking up within us again. Maybe we need to pray for the wisdom to
bite our tongues! Paul writes to the followers in Thessalonica with these
words.
Rejoice always, pray continuously, give thanks in
all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1
Thessalonians 5:15-17
People always ask,
“How do we know God’s will?” The verses
above give us one example. His will is for us to pray in Christ Jesus. As we
pray, we can rejoice, we can give thanks and we can pray all the time. Give
thanks. Rejoice. Pray
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all
kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on
praying for all the Lord’s people Ephesians 6:18
Jesus will never
tire of our prayers. He doesn’t care how we pray, just that we pray and rely on
Him. Jesus doesn’t care about where you pray,
when you pray or how you pray. Just be yourself and seek Him out. He is there
waiting. Pray!
Lord,
Give us the how and when and why we should pray. Being in
intimate contact with You brings us to praise and thank You in all
circumstances. Thank you for sharing Your wise words with us.
In Jesus name
Amen
