"Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Many of us have some trouble when it comes to praying. We search for all the right words, or we worry about touching on all the right points. Sometimes the process is so distorted that some people believe only an ordained minister should even take a stab at it.

But think about this: what is one of the most-mentioned commands in the Bible? It’s to pray. In fact, God not only commands us to pray, but He also says to pray without ceasing. Now, would God tell us to constantly do something that was beyond our capabilities? Don’t worry about choosing beautiful words, or using correct tenses in Old English, or producing deep theological truths. Just speak to the Lord from your heart, and tell Him what’s on your mind. It’s as simple as that. And relax. You are talking to Someone who loves you and wants the best for you.
