Pray Without Ceasing

 

Praying without ceasing is one of the better habits to exercise every day. God's Word encourages us to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17), and the goal of this habit is to be intentional every day with praying as often as you can throughout the day. Determine what and when specifically you will pray (spiritual direction is recommended), and use habit strategies and these examples to help you pray without ceasing every day:
