Prayer Posture

The Bible commands believers to pray "without ceasing," which on its face appears to be more difficult than observing most of the better-known Ten Commandments.

Is it really possible to pray at all time?

From my perspective, prayer is a posture. By that, I mean that it's a way of approaching God - and a way of approaching your life.

A "Prayerful" posture does not mean one literally spends days, weeks, months and years on your knees locked in conscious conversation with God.  Rather, life is spent growing ever more aware of the source of deepest gladness and trust -  in constant communication through that awareness. Be a person of prayer - in a posture of awareness of and gratitude to God.

For further insight into prayer, read Philippians 4:6-9.

For the prayer Jesus taught to his followers, read Matthew 6:5-15.

Finally, if you're having trouble praying, notice the common thread in the above passages and the ones at left. Is there un-confessed sins in your life? Lack of obedience? Someone you need to forgive?

Make it right and pray! =)
