Ephesians 6:18
Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion.
I have considered this verse a lot and often wondered… ” what does ‘pray in the Spirit at all times’ really mean”? I have come to understand that I should live a life of constant connection not nessesarily in that “Holy Spirit” place I had thought would make my prayers more worthy… I learned that I don’t have to be in a Holy place or in a Holy attitude to have my prayers heard, God is every where I am so I can, with the right understanding, “Pray in the Spirit at all times…” Realising that made it easier to pray and I found that I was more aware of the connection to God through out the day, so little prayers ment more, I was connected so God heard… I hope that makes sense…?

You know, the older I get, the more I realize that prayer is an integral part of my relationship to God, through Jesus, with the power of the Holy Spirit. Pray continually…not so foreign as I would have thought 15 or 20 years ago…
God wants us to talk with Him. Don’t stand Him up! Ray.

I have been thinking about this prayer thing some more and have something else… Prayer has to be normal communication right? Well, I don’t know about you but when I get exasperated I can get loud… when something does not make sense and nothing seems clear to me and I’m getting impatient, I yell at God (in much fear and trembling..). I guess I’m saying; lets be our selves, tell him what’s on our MIND sometimes (not always “what’s on our hearts :^[ “). Lets get real with God, it makes it more real and that’s how it should be don’t you think? TB
