Praying with Purpose

What do you think about when you are grocery shopping, preparing dinner, doing yard work? Make that time count for eternity, and pray without ceasing!

What do you think about when you are grocery shopping, preparing dinner, doing yard work? Make that time count for eternity, and pray without ceasing!
“Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus,” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).

I’m just about ready to move off of the “grumbling” topic for write31days and move on to others. But since I mentioned this verse in Day 1, it seems appropriate for now.

Pray without ceasing (NASB).
Pray continually (NIV).
Never stop praying (NLT).
Pray constantly (HCSB).

I think the easiest way to think of “praying without ceasing” is simply to view it as an ongoing dialog with the Lord throughout the day. Sometimes people will ask me if I’m talking to myself. If I’m by myself and something is going on, I’m talking to the Lord about it. Often that “talking” is intercession for family and friends. My “prayer time” isn’t just during my quiet time in the early part of the morning. In fact, most of my praying occurs just like this, throughout the day.

I’m reminded of the persistent widow in Luke 18.

One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up. There was a judge in a certain city,” he said, “who neither feared God nor cared about people. A widow of that city came to him repeatedly, saying, ‘Give me justice in this dispute with my enemy.’ The judge ignored her for a while, but finally he said to himself, ‘I don’t fear God or care about people, but this woman is driving me crazy. I’m going to see that she gets justice, because she is wearing me out with her constant requests!’”

Then the Lord said, “Learn a lesson from this unjust judge. Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don’t you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?  I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?” (Luke 18:1-8). [Emphasis added.]

I love that Jesus told this story with the specific purpose of teaching His disciples that they should always pray and never give up. This is what God wants us to do with our time–with our minds.What does it mean to live--without? Some people live without hope. God says live without grumbling! If we are His, He sees us without blemish. #write31days

It’s another strategy for overcoming grumbling! Instead of grumbling about situations that have me frustrated, I want to pray through them. Grumbling is unproductive. Prayer is a great way to convert unproductive time to productive time.

Make that time count for eternity and pray WITHOUT ceasing!

    Amen! I love those constant conversations with my Father :). It’s so much easier to do ‘without’ other things when I’m filtering my needs and wants through a conversation with my Father.

    I love knowing I’m not the only one talking to myself! While going through cancer treatment with my son I learned to just talk to God throughout the day because I couldn’t really concentrate for a “worship” and I’ve kept that. Pray without ceasing….ove it!

    Thanks for this reminder. It is hard to grumble and pray, praise, and trust at the same time.

    I used to think something wasn’t officially prayed for until I had done so during my quiet time – but then realized I could bring up anything with my Father all day long. What a blessing!

    I think we try to make the Christian Life too difficult. It’s not supposed to be a burden! Christ came to set us free. Praying throughout the day as the Holy Spirit leads is just one way. 🙂

    Oh, Robyn … it is … I think this is one of those muscles that takes a long time to make strong.

  7. jenniferhyates says

    October 3, 2015 at 10:29 am

    Yes. I need to keep my focus on Jesus and pray throughout the day. That would probably keep my mouth in check! 🙂

    Ah yes – that lovely ongoing conversation that lasts throughout the day and into the night! Love it!

    Pray without ceasing = “never say amen!”

    I love what Brother Lawrence said … Practicing the presence of God. Sounds like you know Bis presence well.

Yesterday marked 30 years of loving this man!

According to tradition, the 30th anniversary is the Pearl Anniversary. I don’t know exactly why, but I surmise it’s because of how a pearl is formed inside an oyster.

A grain of sand, or some other irritant, finds its way inside. The oyster produces a substance that coats the irritant, eventually forming a pearl.

Irritants are plentiful in marriage. Tim & I have certainly had more than a few. Some of our own making, some we didn’t ask for. But God has been gracious and merciful to us. He has taught us how to love each other through them. He has taught us how to forgive when the irritant is something one of us did to cause the other pain. We are still learning. 

You could say love and forgiveness have formed in our marriage a string of pearls. 

There is no one else I’d rather walk this life with. Tim is God’s precious gift to me.

I love you, Sweetheart.

💞 What have you found that makes a difference in your marriage? That keeps you connected to your spouse? 💞

THIS GIRL AMAZES ME!  She came over early so the Tim-Man could change out her tie rods. Well, the other day she purchased the right tools (including jack stands and a hydraulic jack) and replaced her strut and spring coil assemblies and the sway bar links ALL BY HERSELF!! Her daddy was SO PROUD when she showed him. 

This is so beyond me. But I am a proud mama! Happy Birthday, sweet girl!! We love you!!

HOLY FATHER, GIVE ME GREAT LOVE FOR YOUR WORD AND THE TRUTH IN IT.⁠
⁠
May the Holy Spirit illumine truth as I read its pages. Teach me to use your Sword as my weapon against Satan.⁠
⁠
Help me to study it well, hiding its treasures in my heart.⁠
⁠
Bring to mind truth from Your Word for my needs today. ⁠
⁠
In Jesus's Name,⁠
Amen!⁠
⁠

⁠
Collecting Scriptures as we read God's Word can be a great help for when we face temptation. Writing them in a journal on an index card or a sticky note keeps them "at the ready" for when we need them.⁠
⁠
If you struggle with memorizing Scripture, I have a resource to help you hide God's Word in your heart:⁠
⁠
The PSALMS Meditation Method is a set of worksheets that guides your meditation process so that you know a verse thoroughly, even though you may not have "memorized" it.⁠

DO YOU CARE FOR LITTLE ONES OR AGED ONES?⁠
⁠
Do you teach students?⁠
Do you move within the corporate world?⁠
⁠
Are you walking through a valley of suffering?⁠
⁠
What task has God given you in your arena of ministry? ⁠
⁠
It doesn’t matter what it is, God wants us to give ourselves *fully* to the work He assigns us. ⁠
⁠
And here’s the “why.”⁠
⁠
“Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” (1 Corinthians 15:58-59 NIV)⁠
⁠
Our labor is in not in vain! Because, as the verses prior to these say, Jesus has conquered the sting of death. Through Him we have victory. ⁠
⁠
Everything we do can point to Jesus so He receives glory in all our tasks. ⁠
⁠
So if you’re feeling discouraged today, take heart. Victory is yours. God will use your efforts for His kingdom.  He loves you so. ⁠
⁠
What work has God given you today? ⁠
⁠
Double tap if you agree!⁠

HOW TO CULTIVATE AN ATTITUDE OF THANKSGIVING ALL YEAR ROUND.⁠
⁠
If you're like me, your mind is spinning with all the craziness of this week. You might even be a bit afraid of what the future holds. I know that I am doing a good amount of "instructing my heart" to trust the Lord. ⁠
⁠
The best cure of worry and fear is a shift in focus -- from our circumstances to the One who controls them. With Thanksgiving approaching, this shift can include listing all the the wonderful ways God has cared for us in the past -- which builds our trust that He will continue to care for us in the coming days. ⁠
⁠
Would you join me in focusing on the wonderful deeds of the Lord as Thanksgiving approaches? ⁠
⁠
This 5-Day Mini Bible Study is a special Thanksgiving treat that will help you cultivate an attitude of thanksgiving (and trust) all year long.⁠ ⁠
⁠

Tim and I had the sweetest time together down at Surfside. It was a much needed respite from the whirlwind of the last 8 months or so. (I started to list *all the things* that identify this time period, but decided this post should focus on respite!)⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Tim and I love to cook together, so FOOD was a fun part of our getaway. We enjoyed sunrises and moonrises over the water, walks along the beach and collecting sea shells, and just sitting on the porch in these great big swing chairs. And ... naps!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Didn't "think" too much about anything. Just enjoyed being together in a beautiful place. ⁠⠀
