Never stop praying. – 1 Thessalonians 5:17(NLT)
PRAY UNCEASINGLY
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you have a blessing to be thankful for?
Why don’t you pray and give praise to the Lord?
Are there some problems that continually cripple you?
Pray for strength and for your mind to be renewed.
When you wake up each morning, talk to the Lord
You need to seek him first and study his word
Meditate on his truth to detect what might be wrong
Don’t stop praying so you can be free and be strong.

Some Christians fail to understand the importance of prayer in their lives. The enemy’s job is to steal, kill and destroy us. How does Satan stop us from unceasing prayers? He brings many distractions in our lives such as health issues, financial problems, losing someone, experiencing abuse, our roles in life, busy-ness and many more. The more he diverts our attention from God, the less time we will pray. One of the weapons we can use against this evil scheme is to pray. In Ephesians 6, we learn that the sword of the spirit is the word of God and that we have to pray in the spirit at all times and on every occasion and stay alert and be persistent in praying for all believers everywhere. Because we are dealing with unseen forces and the battle is spiritual, we need to pray incessantly to win it.________________________________________
