1 Thessalonians 5:17 (ESV)

17 pray without ceasing,

Here we receive the command to keep praying. We definitely need that encouragement. We are easily distracted and let the circumstances of the day rule us. Fixed prayer times are therefore important. Jesus taught us to address God as our Father (Matthew 6:9). And this heavenly Father loves to hear his children pray to him. Seek intimate communion with him in this way. How gladly does the Father want to give the Holy Spirit (Luke 11:13) to those who pray, Jesus assures.
