Never Fail to Pray

Often there arise times that we don't feel like praying.  We may be lazy or busy with many things around us that we hardly remember to pray. A failure to pray will take us far from Gods care and protection. 

Whenever we feel a dryness in prayer or when we are helpless that we are not able to find peace of mind for praying, we can still do one thing..just sit for a moment for God. Where ever you are or what ever you do..just recede to a corner and stay calm for God..hopefully this is something we can do. Even Jonah was able to pray in the stomach of a shark.  If we are ready to do this..rest God will take care. 

'Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.…Pray without ceasing'- 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Pray in the Spirit at all times. Pray with all kinds of prayers, and ask for everything you need. To do this you must always be ready. Never give up. Always pray for all of God’s people.                                                                                                                         - Ephesians 6:18-20

“But when you pray, you should go into your room and close the door. Then pray to your Father. He is there in that private place. He can see what is done in private, and he will reward you.

And when you pray, don’t be like the people who don’t know God. They say the same things again and again. They think that if they say it enough, their god will hear them. Don’t be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.So this is how you should pray:

‘Our Father in heaven,
we pray that your name will always be kept holy.We pray that your kingdom will come—that what you want will be done here on earth, the same as in heaven.Give us the food we need for today.Forgive our sins,    just as we have forgiven those who did wrong to us.
 Don’t let us be tempted,
but save us from the Evil One.' "- Mathew 6:9-13

Let us recede to our heart and find a mind to sit for God even when we does not feel like praying..but never cease to find a time for God
