BREATHE

Read 1 Thessalonians 5:17.... Take a moment a just breathe.... How often does God tell us He wants us to pray? You figure that God is joking when He says to pray continually. It sounds like an assignment from your mom or a teacher. SO how can you pray all the time?
By praying different kinds of prayer at different times.
There's praying hard . That's setting aside time just to pray for yourself, friends, family, your whole world! It's a spiritual workout that's easy to shove aside, but it causes you steady growth. The key word here is -TIME! You have to make time to make the hard prayers.

There's the code red prayer for others. Those are the big-time emergency prayers, like when a friend's parents are divorcing or a family member is critically ill. But mouth to mouth moments dont come everyday.

When the Bible says to "pray continually, " it's talking especially about a third kind, prayer all the time, talking to God whenever, wherever you go and whatever you do. It's a habit as normal as the breaths you take everyday.

If prayer isn't part of your moment to moment life, you can slap your back and jump, start your breathing to day.Just say, "God I think...." or "God I feel.." or "God I need..." and tell him what's going on in your HEART, as often as you want and need.
