Pray Without Ceasing
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you -- 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
What is prayer? Talking to God. Yes. But it’s so much more. Because this isn’t just anyone. It’s God! Our Creator. Our Father. The One who loves us more than anyone else ever could.
Yes. That’s the One. So it’s not just talking to anyone.
Of course, that’s a scary thought. What do you say to someone so powerful? Thanks. That would be a good start. Thank you God for everything you do for me. Thank you God for your Presence in my life. Thank you God for never, ever leaving me alone. Thank you God for loving me.
God could speak death over us but instead He gave us life. He sent Jesus, His one and only Son, to live a sinless death and die for us. We could never have made it on our own. We could never, ever have measured up to God’s perfection. We faced eternal separation from Him. Damned by our own sinfulness. He saved us. Thanks seems so small when we really understand that.
