1 Thessalonians 5:17
Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
Paul commands continual prayer as a way of life, not just an occasional practice.
Pray without ceasing. This doesn't mean endless verbal prayer but maintaining constant communion with God throughout the day. Prayer becomes our natural response to every situation—turning to God in joy, sorrow, decision, and uncertainty. It's an ongoing conversation that never truly ends. This transforms prayer from a duty into a lifestyle.

Father, teach me to pray without ceasing. Help me maintain constant communion with You throughout every moment of this day. Keep me connected. Amen.
