Prepared in an instant
1 Thessalonians 5:17 [show/hide]1 Thessalonians 5:17
[17]pray without ceasing, (ESV)
Pray without ceasing.
The Christian is enjoined to pray without ceasing, not that he can always be engaged in the positive act, but he ought to have what I call a holy aptitude for prayer.
The bird is not always on the wing, but he is ready to fly in an instant; so the believer is not always on the wing of prayer, but he has such a gracious aptitude for this exercise that he is prepared in an instant, when in danger or need, to fly for refuge to his God. – Roland Hill.
Prayer may become a habit as natural and as constant almost as breathing. We may accustom ourselves to be constantly breathing out prayer and praise to our Father in heaven.
We can have many little talks with Jesus along the way, and when we do the more distinct time of prayer will be all the more a time of sweetest fellowship with Him, and of richest blessing from Him.
Our God is never far away; therefore our fellowship with Him should be constant, full and free. There should never be a moment when we could not pray. “Men ought always to pray and not to faint.”
