READ: Luke 11:1-10
“Be careful for nothing; but in EVERY THING BY PRAYER and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” – Philippians 4:6
In this famous scripture, God tells us that everything should be done by prayer. In other words, nothing should be done without prayer. “Everything by prayer, nothing without prayer!”
All through the Bible, we are exhorted to do everything by prayer. The repeated exhortation is to pray always about everything. Do everything by prayer!
There is nothing that does not need the element of prayer. Everything you do in this life, even the smallest thing, is influenced by prayer. Do not let anyone tell you that something is too insignificant to pray about.
Pray about your spiritual life! Pray about your weaknesses! Pray about your problems. Pray about your challenges. Pray about your sexual life. Pray about your character. Pray about your temperaments. Pray about your quarrels. Pray about your failings. Pray about your promises. Pray about your finances!
Pray about your marriage. Pray about your needs. Pray about your work. Pray for your boss. Pray for a partner. Pray for a lover. Pray for help. Pray for grace. Pray for mercy. Pray for knowledge. Pray for humility. Pray for holiness. Pray for your children. Pray about the government. Pray about your ministry. All through the Bible, you see this repeated exhortation to pray without ceasing.
“Pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). “Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer” (Romans 12:12).
“But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer” (1 Peter 4:7).
