Always Praying.

When do you talk to God?

Do you wake up with God in your thoughts, a prayer on your lips? Or do you go about your day and talk to God haphazardly when something jogs your memory of Him? Maybe someone asks you to pray for them and that triggers your first communication of the day with God. I have no clue about anyone other than myself and my own walk with God, and it's the same for all of us. We can tell someone about our walk and then they share the knowledge, and we can learn about theirs, but every walk is subject to change that inevitably occurs on a day to day basis.  I may say I wake up and pray right away, but what if I'm woken up unexpectedly by a phone call and my routine it interrupted by an emergency? Or maybe I wake up extremely groggy and for some reason I try to wake myself up more before attempting prayer? There are numerous situations that can disrupt our lives and alter our routines. But as a rule, what is your desired, average day with God in it? Where He is in your day? When do you begin your talk with God? And when do you end your talk with God.

If we are praying always, our conversation never really ends, right? If you were with someone 24/7 during your waking hours you would talk with them, but would you talk with them unendingly? No. There would be lulls, there would be gaps, there would be breaks in your discussions. No one talks with another person continuously. You have comfortable silences that are expected when you're with someone all the time. Now if we are praying always this doesn't mean we are talking with God and doing nothing else. I believe it means we are living in His presence, our lives are lived with HIM, He is with us always, truly with us. Our praying always is knowing always that our Father in heaven is in our lives. We make supplications in our prayer, but prayer isn't all supplication.

Too many people think prayer is just supplication but there is prayer AND supplication.

Eph 6:18  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints

Praying with - prayer and supplication.

Why would we say praying with prayer AND supplication if prayer simply were supplication? It would be like saying praying always with all prayer and all prayer.

Praying isn't just asking. It's worship, it's acknowledging our creature-self, it's honoring, it's giving thanks, it's recognition of the place we hold in life, it's duty, it's so much more than simply asking God for favors.

Praying always- with ALL prayer and supplication- IN THE SPIRIT.

So going back to the first question- When do you talk with God? When do you pray?

Do you pray always? Do you pray always and during that always praying add even more prayer?

Seriously, if you live in a state of constant communication with God, and yet do not talk, but communicate by living in the presence of God, there will be many times throughout your life you will talk with God.  You live with God, even if you are not speaking 24/7 with Him. Your prayers go up every single time you even think of God. The SPIRIT truly speaks for us so much more than we could ever realize.

Rom_8:26  Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

May we live in prayer always, may our supplications be forever before God, all through the Holy Spirit.

May our days, our nights, our entire life belong to God.

All in HIS LOVE, all through JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD and SAVIOR NOW AND FOREVER!!!!!!
