“Pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17).
As we learn about the Enemy and how to do battle against him, we see two of the greatest weapons we have to keep from becoming a casualty. One is prayer and the other is the Word. Today’s verse only contains three words, but they are profoundly important to the Christian. As I mentioned before, a Christian on his or her knees makes the devil tremble.
I’m sure you will agree, you want to see him sweat. Aside from that, being in an attitude of prayer will give you strength, courage, and determination as you go through your day. We never know what a day might bring so go to God and fill your arsenal with prayer. Literally, saturate your day with prayer. It will unclutter your mind. One wise quip states, “A day hemmed in prayer is much less likely to unravel.”
