Talk to God all day long.



God is your friend. He loves you more than you can imagine. He wants constant communication with you. How often do you talk with God? He wants to be in on every decision you make and help you with every thought you have so you will glorify His name in everything you do! We have examples from the bible of the importance of praying constantly:

David prayed all day: Psalm 55:17 Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice.

The only thing folks could charge the godly man Daniel with was his faithfulness to prayer to God, three times a day: Daniel 6:10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.

Anna the widow woman who found Jesus and family after his birth at the temple prayed day and night: Luke 2:36-38 Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; 37 and this woman was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. 38 And coming in that instant she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

Of course then we have Jesus who prayed constantly to the Father: John 17:1 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,

The bible is filled with example from faithful servants who spend much time in prayer and then we can go outside the bible to faithful servants. I have never came across a servants of God who was doing great works for Him who did not have a great prayer life. God blesses those who seek Him and His guidance often and then obey! Very simple!

So this day follow the examples of the faithful and the Word of God and: 1 Thessalonians 5:17 pray without ceasing,

God desires to hear from His people!
