“pray without ceasing,” (1 Thessalonians 5:17, ESV)
Why do we pray? Reason #3 (of 4)
It helps us to stay focused. Next time you have a big decision to make, take a moment to pray and see how it changes your attitude. Next time you feel as though your personal struggle with sin is too much to overcome, pause a moment to talk with God. Here’s a novel idea. Next time you are looking for something to do, maybe instead of going to YouTube try going to God. I can’t explain to you how effective it can be, it’s something you’ll have to try yourself to fully grasp. If have a suspicion that prayers power to refocus our minds can be seen in Philippians 4:8-9. “Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.” (Philippians 4:8–9, ESV)
Let your light shine!
