Pray Unceasingly


 

 Does THIS Sound Familiar?

I’ve read a dozen or more times in God’s Word about praying unceasingly, and it’s usually a command accompanied by the words “with thanksgiving”.  But all too often my internal attitude, which is what unceasing prayer adjusts and restricts (in a positive way) is not that of prayer with thanksgiving, but prayer with some petition and a little “but it’s because of” self-justification added in.  Most of my prayer life to date, I confess with a heavy sigh, has been like this little YouTube presentation (except I’m not a cat!).  

My point is this:  all too often we go into prayer with a want, need, or desire for forgiveness without realizing just WHAT prayer is and how to pray with tha authoritative standing we as believers possess because of who we are in Christ Jesus and where we are in Him!  As the Body of Christ we are actually “in ascension”  where he is, with all things under our feet!   THIS is the Biblical viewpoint and so it should be worked into us to be our viewpoint as well.  When it is, we won’t be believers who is in prayer one minute then pulled out of our human spirit & out of sinc with the Lord the next.

When I saw this little YouTube presentation I laughed, but in my inner being I sensed the truth as it applied to me; many times I’ve prayed for the Lord’s forgiveness, only to follow my petition with a quick “but”.    See if you don’t get what I mean .
