THE CHRISTIAN LIFESTYLE 2

1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing. A LIFESTYLE OF PRAYER Prayer should not be something the Christian takes lightly. If you remember the disciples never asked Jesus to teach them to preach, or to teach or many of the other things that Christians do but they did ask Him to teach them how to pray. They realized how important prayer was. Prayer is the way we pour out our hearts and thoughts to God. It is in times of prayer that we are open to His communication to us also. Prayer is as important to our spiritual life as air is to our physical life. When we don't have air for our bodies it is really hard on our physical bodies. The same is true for prayers and our spiritual life? We need to pray individually. I don't mean that we are just to tell people we will pray for them. I believe we should follow through and actually pray to God on their behalf. We also need to pray collectively. We should pray as families and churches and even prayer groups and circles. There is power in prayer. We need to pray faithfully, after all it is a part of the Christian Lifestyle.
