¹⁶Rejoice always, ¹⁷pray continually, ¹⁸give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

 

A strong relationship is dependent upon communication. Look over your friends list…I’m sure you communicate with them throughout the day via phone calls, text messages or social media messaging. When you stop communicating, that person loses touch with what’s going on in your life and pretty soon you disappear of their radar. Communication is the key to develop strong bonds of love and beneficial friendships.

 

Our communication with God is no different. Sometimes I think the word “prayer” limits our conversations with God. With prayer, we think we have to set aside times to talk to God. Here is a thought…why not simply converse with Him throughout the day, just like you would someone who you are close to? If you are a Christian, His Spirit lives inside of you, so He is with you 24/7. It might sound strange, but I talk to Him all day, asking for wisdom when a problem arises, thanking Him when I see His blessing befall me, and asking for strength when tasked with something bigger than I can bear.

 

Your prayer life is only as good as you make God part of your day, your entire day. Pray continually and find blessings, wisdom and strength make your day better! I promise you can never go wrong when you make God your partner for life! God bless!
