Lent Day 28: 1 Thessalonians 5:17

     I have been thinking a lot about prayer lately.  I have been reading a book on prayer and we have been watching the movie Letter to God which focuses quite a bit on prayer.  One of the shortest if not the shortest verses in the bible is 1 Thessalonians 5:17.  It simply states: pray continually or pray without ceasing. (depending on which bible you have) So how do we do that?  We should approach everything as if it is a prayer.  Everything we do should be prayerful.  From the way we talk to our family in the morning, to the way with interact with our friends and co-workers, to the way we talk to our neighbors, and to the way we approach our interaction with an opposing softball team.  (In case you are wondering that is who I came in contact with today)  Our actions and words should reflect our faith.  The best way to "pray continually" is to make prayer a big part of your daily life.  After all, it was a pretty big part of the life of you know who.....

prayerfully
