Change Your Definition of Prayer
Have you ever heard the biblical phrase "pray without ceasing"? To many,
that sounds daunting and impossible. How could anyone bow their head,
kneel, and pray 24 hours a day?
If that's what you think, it might be time to change your definition of
prayer. Too often we view prayer as a very specific process that can
only happen once we've gone to a private place and shut the entire world
out.
But do you realize that even directing a thought toward God qualifies as
silent prayer? It's true! Prayer is communicating with God, so when the
Bible says to "pray without ceasing" it means to always be open to
communication with God. That could mean a two-hour prayer session, or
it could be something as simple as being aware of His presence as you go
throughout your day.
God has not made prayer complicated. He intends for prayer to be an
integral part of our everyday lives. Today, change your definition of
prayer, and you can experience the joy that comes from constant
communication with the God who loves you.
Prayer Starter: God, help me change my definition of prayer and show me
ways to communicate with You day in and day out. Thank You for Your
constant presence in my life.
