CONTINUE DEVOTEDLY IN PRAYER

Colossians 4:2 “Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving.”

The Christian life is not merely about moral behavior. It is a deeply spiritual life. Prayer is one medium by which this depth of spirituality is enhanced in our walk with God. Thus, Prayer is therefore not optional but essential.

Being devoted to prayer, especially at a personal level, reflects seriousness, sincerity, and a genuine hunger for God. A weak prayer life will always result in a weak spiritual life.

You see, prayer must never be driven only by crisis. When prayer is reserved for emergencies, fellowship with God becomes shallow. A consistent prayer life is how intimacy with God is formed. Through prayer, believers express dependence on God and delight in Him at the same time.

Know that consistency in prayer sharpens spiritual sensitivity and builds strength to resist temptation and capacity to endure challenges. Jesus Himself modeled this life of prayer (Mark 1:35). He prayed early in the morning, withdrew to solitary places, and prayed before major decisions and moments of suffering. If prayer was central to His life, it must be central to ours.

Never grow casual about prayer. Pray in every season of life. Pray for guidance, wisdom, strength, and protection. Prayer keeps your heart aligned with heaven and your life responsive to God’s will. Deep fellowship with God does not happen by accident. It is cultivated through deliberate and faithful communion.

Read:1 Thessalonians 5:17 “be unceasing and persistent in prayer”

Prayer: Lord, grant me the grace to remain devoted and consistent in my prayer life. Amen.
