Pray without Ceasing
I’ve been meditating on 1 Thess. 5:17 lately: “Pray without ceasing.” Try as I might to maintain a continual attitude of prayer, I get distracted by the million other things that vie for my attention. Consequently, I often lose sight of that goal.
Yet my days are sprinkled with enough mindless tasks that it’s easy to pick up the conversation with God wherever I left off, provided I make a point to do so. Some of my favorite multi-tasking opportunities include praying while:
- folding laundry
- climbing stairs
- washing dishes
- nursing babies
- riding bikes
- taking showers
- falling asleep
When and where do you squeeze in extra prayer time? Please share. I’m eager to add to my list!
I pray while:
-gardening
-at the library
-waiting on an appt (doctor, dentist, mechanic)
-fishing!
Those are all wonderful opportunities to pray, Robin. Great way to multi-task!
