Praying Always

In all seasons of life.

There is no period of life that should be without prayer.

Youth, Middle Age, Old Age, each needs a prayer life.

No condition of life should be endeavored without prayer.

Adversity, prosperity, sunshine, desolation, enduring sore temptation, under important duty, heavy trials, all of life’s changing circumstances should be met with prayer.

In The Spirit

Prayer is not prayer unless it is by the Holy Spirit.

The Spirit fills the heart with a heavenward longing to talk to the our Abba Father.

Romans 8:15

15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Romans 8:26

26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Perseverance and Supplication

Luke 11:5–8

5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; 6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?

7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
