📖 Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. -1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NKJV
As we can see from this scripture, God wants us to pray without ceasing. Prayer is a way of staying connected to God. There are so many different things that we could need answers to or help with at any given moment. God is our help, and as we continue to pray fervently to Him, He will meet our every need. Praying with other tongues is especially helpful. The Bible says in Romans 8:26 NKJV, “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” When we don’t know exactly what to say to God, praying in the spirit can help us pray as we should. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 14:18 NKJV, “I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all.” This tells us that Paul understood that to fulfill the calling on his life he had to stay connected to God. Praying in tongues helped him to do that. Prayer is staying connected to the vine (Jesus) and without being connected to the vine, we cannot bear fruit. When we look at the life of Jesus, he was constantly getting away to pray to His Father. As believers, we must understand that if we are to be successful in life, we must stay connected to God through prayer.
