READ: 2 Timothy 2:1-10
Pray without ceasing. – 1 Thessalonians 5:17
pray every day is to pray without ceasing. To pray every day is to pray without stopping. So why do people not pray every day? Why is it that prayer is the most neglected spiritual discipline of our lives? People do not pray every day because they do not pray in the night. It is as simple as that! If you were to pray in the night, you would pray every day.
1. People do not pray every day because they have to attend to many other duties of life during the day. However, in the night, most duties do not have to be attended to.
2. People do not pray every day because they do not have private spaces in their homes to pray. Praying in the night or at dawn solves this problem. Whilst people are asleep, you can find a solitary place to pray.
3. People do not pray every day because other people who need them for something during the day continuously interrupt them. Praying in the night or at dawn solves this problem.
4. People do not pray every day because they do not have a good atmosphere for prayer during the day. Praying in the night solves this problem. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 2 Timothy 2:8
It is important to pray without ceasing. The only way to pray every day is to watch and pray! If you can fast and pray throughout the year, that is equally acceptable. Praying once a year during your fast is a very dangerous practice
