1 Thessalonians 5:17, 18 (ESV)
Pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
A Theme to Remember:
To “pray without ceasing,” to pray in everything, and to pray everywhere — these commands of continuity are expressive of the sleepless energy of prayer, of the exhaustless possibilities of prayer, and of its exacting necessity. Prayer can do all things. Prayer must do all things. (Adapted from E.M. Bounds, The Necessity of Prayer)
Words to Remember:
The maturity of a Christian experience cannot be reached in a moment, but is the result of the work of the Holy Spirit, who, by his energizing and transforming power, causes us to grow up into Christ in all things.
–Hannah Whitall Smith
