"Pray Without Ceasing" Or "Pray Continually"

I wish someone would remind me of 1 Thessalonians 5:17 every day. It is a tough verse. But if we can hold ourselves up to the "pray without ceasing" standard, we will be able to walk with Jesus. If we can meditate away from the anger of the world and into the peace of God, we will be saved. If we can bring our problems to the Lord instead of internalizing or avoiding them, we will be filled with joy. If we can listen instead of speaking without reflection then we will be truly blessed.

Great things come from continual prayer. Mediocre things come from partial prayer. Nothing comes from no prayer.

Lord help us to pray.
