Pray before voting. . . . and before getting up . . . walking out the door . . . driving on the street . . . shopping . . . speaking . . . lying down . . . watching, listening . . .

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

To pray continually, this is possible. It does not mean folding hands closing eyes and being on your knees at all moments of your life. It is more an attitude of breathing God in at all times in the being mode, not the having or wanting mode, in the now. It is also a lot more quietness than talking, listening for the still small voice waiting on the Lord. etc. It is hard to explain. No walls comes to mind also. being in the vine. believing in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Contentment and an attitude of gratitude are important. No pre conceived notions fit in. a willingness to put aside our common sense if faith requires it. Walking into the great unknown future knowing Jesus is right there with you and in control.
