I'm always surprised when Christians know the exact number of times they pray each day, or can't remember the last time they prayed. Some will say they pray every morning and right before bed. Or they pray before eating, or at church.
I can't speak for others, but if I can count the number of times I'm praying, or if I'm praying on a schedule, I'm not praying enough. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says we should pray constantly. Prayer gives us peace, increases our power through Christ, and draws us closer to God. It also keeps our thoughts focused and pure. The devil never rests, so there is always time for prayer. Question: Can you immediately tell the difference when you miss an hour, a day, or a week of praying? How did it make you feel?
