I’m not stopping

Pray without ceasing.

- 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NKJV)

 

Pray without ceasing?

That can be and is once of the biggest challenges that some of us face.
It is hard to pray continuously. 

But being consistent with our prayer is key.
Matthew West even wrote a song about it this year called Don’t Stop Praying (what else?) here are the lyrics:
What's your impossible? Your "I need a miracle"

What's got you barely hanging by a single thread?

What looks so hopeless now? What weighs down your heart with doubt?

You beg for a breakthrough, but no sign of breakthrough yet

[bridge] When you've cried, and you've cried 'til your tears run dry

The answer won't come, and you don't know why

And you wonder if you can bow your head even one more time

[chorus] Don't stop praying

Don't stop calling on Jesus' name

Keep on pounding on Heaven's door

And let your knees wear out the floor

Don't stop believing

'Cause mountains move with just a little faith

And your Father's heard every single word you're saying

So, don't stop praying

He's close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit

The Alpha and Omega knows how your story ends

[bridge][chorus]

Oh-oh

(Don't stop, don't stop praying) oh, don't stop praying

(Don't stop, don't stop praying)

Oh-oh

Don't stop praying for the prodigal

Don't stop praying for the miracle

Hallelujah, hallelujah, and amen

Don't stop praying that addictions end

Don't stop praying for deliverance

Hallelujah, hallelujah, and amen

Oh, don't stop praying for the sickness healed

Don't stop praying for His power revealed

Hallelujah, hallelujah, and amen

No, don't stop praying for the Kingdom come

Don't stop praying that His will be done

Hallelujah, hallelujah, and amen

[chorus]

(Don't stop, don't stop praying) hey, don't you give up now

No, don't stop praying

I was doing great until I heard these lines: Don't stop calling on Jesus' name, Keep on pounding on Heaven's door, And let your knees wear out the floor, Don't stop believing

Let your knees wear out the floor.
When was the last time you got on your knees to pray? 
One church taught us that you can pray in any position, I often pray while I’m driving, but when there is something weighing really heavy on me, I return to my knees.
God may not answer our prayers immediately, that is why we pray without ceasing.
