Pray without ceasing!!!

Pray without ceasing
How do I pray without ceasing?
How do I stay persistent in praying?
I cannot kneel by my bed all day
My strength would fall to the lure of the moon
should I try by night

What other way might I try
My morning prayers appears below standard of not ceasing
My bed time prayers often end up with snores
Do I give up all activities to fulfil this instruction?
Do I assume it’s just an ironical presentation?

I will pray to my God – always
Commune with Him as much as I can
Be open to His friendship to share all my experiences
Make Him my Lord to receive His counsels
Allow His discipline ‘cos He’s my father
Pour into Him as He pours into me
Be spent in prayers at every opportunity that appears
I will share my best moments and intimate Him of the worst and challenging ones
Openness will be my guide to sharing my moments with Him
After all He sees and knows all things...

His praise will not depart from me
Thanks giving I will always bring
I will worship Him without reservations and pour my love on Him
For He deserves more than I can bring
My soul will appreciate His death for me
The gift of life that made me whole
Saved eternally by His love
Free access to approach Him any time, place or situation

I will praise Him every morning
Will talk about my day’s expectations
In the shower I will bless Him
While walking I will thank Him
On my job, we will share minds
At lunch breaks, looking through scriptures will by inspired with prayers
In the gym, I’ll keep my heart stayed on Him ‘cos He is my strength
At dinner time, every bite will be a delight ‘cos He’ll be there to brighten the moment
Among friends, I will let Him in on every gist we share
Every minute must count with a word, phrase or thought to commune with Him
Just before sleep, I will thank Him for sharing the day with me
And being there at those low moments to urge me on
This way I strive to pray without ceasing!!!
