1 Thessalonians 5:17
Pray without ceasing….as in, don’t stop praying.
This requires one to firstly believe in prayer- not every Christian believes God hears and responds. They almost certainly believe He can but that’s not the same thing.
Secondly, it requires a soul to believe in His own prayers. That’s where it really gets skinny.
Believing in prayer often goes hand in hand with spiritual sensitivity ( it should) but there are plenty of spiritually sensitive souls who do not believe in the power, the necessity, the potential or the viability of their own spiritual longings.
The constancy of one’s prayer life, is likely the most significant indicator of an individual’s spiritual growth and health.
Should the Lord return in our own unique cycles of life, may He find prayer ‘on the earth’, in us as we hold forth the word of His hope, in constant contact with Him, spirit to Spirit.
