Perpetual Prayer

This year is proving both exciting and challenging for me. I have so many great things on deck that I’m getting ready to start, yet I keep coming across situations that are throwing some wrenches in the game plan.


Despite my disappointment with having to deal with challenges, I am still kind of grateful for them. Coming up against blockages have pushed me to use more of my faith and recalled the scriptures I’ve been meditating on back to my memory. I have been using those verses to bolster my faith and encourage myself in the Lord.

I’ve also found myself conversing with God on a more regular basis throughout the day. I used to consider a time of prayer as shutting myself in my room and spending time in concentrated prayer for a significant period of time. Now I see that I am having constant talks with God as I encounter different situations.

I’m asking Him more questions on the spot, and I’m really listening for answers. I’m realizing now what the scripture meant that said to pray without ceasing. (I Thessalonians 5:17) In order to make it, you’ve got to have a continuous flow of prayer going!

I’m further realizing the value of staying in the word and prayer. You never know when you’re going to need a ready word, and there’s not always a Bible around as we go through the day. Yet we have the Holy Spirit to bring things back to our remembrance, and we should be using that privilege to the fullest!

So, don’t despair when you encounter challenges and difficulties, they are prime opportunities to exercise your faith and show you how much you’ve grown in God! Keep meditating on His Word and keep the lines of communication open between you and your Heavenly Father. You are still an Overcomer!

Verse of the Day: But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. Acts 6:4
