Prayer is a Lifestyle

Read your Bible pray every day, pray every day, pray every day and you grow, grow, grow…
It’s me3x, oh Lord standing in the midst of prayer2x, not my mother nor my father but it’s me oh Lord standing in the midst of prayer.

These songs are kid’s songs about prayer. Way back centuries ago, a religious movement called Moravians were known because of their prayer lifestyle. They had prayed every hour for everyday for one hundred years. They were the group often illustrated in preaching about faithful praying.
How is this true in my life? Sadly, I don’t have the same prayer life that of the Moravian brethren. Five minutes of praying seems too long for me but supposed this not should be, because the word of God encouraged us to “pray without ceasing” not just for five minutes, an hour but with continuity. Prayer at times becomes an emergency button, whenever we are in need we pray. Prayer should be a lifestyle part of our daily life. It should be equivalent to breathing.

There were times in my life where prayer became inconsistent, my life has been so dry, it seemed that there was something lacking. Thankfully, praying is not like a cellular phone where we need to have load and signal in order to communicate to God up above, though it seems we’re just talking to the air but He answers prayer in His own way. Knowing that the God I am serving never sleeps and never slumber, I pray that He would give me the untiring, continuousness attitude of praying to Him and talking to Him.

I Thessalonians 5:17, “Pray without ceasing.” Let’s talk to God ALWAYS.
