Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer. Those are words from Paul to the believers in Rome. Prayer is a habit that, like every other good habit, must be developed. You know you need to pray. You need God’s help, His wisdom and His guidance, we need His help. But you must persevere in prayer. The activities of life try to keep you from praying. So persevere!
We are to keep watch at all times with prayer, that we might be strong enough to make it through all the difficulties that come from life. In communing with God, you gain strength that comes in no other way. You find the wisdom and courage to face life and overcome (1 Thessalonians 5:17-18).
Learn to always include God in your thoughts. Ask Him about everything. Cultivate your relationship by continual communication. And one of the most important things for you to communicate to God is your gratitude. Thank God for everything.
Don’t relegate prayer to just when you’re on your knees. As you go about your activities, include God by constant communion with Him. Talk to God about everything.
