Continue To Pray

July 16, 2025

Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; Colossians 4:2

Each of us know the importance of having a good prayer life. We know that prayer changes things and turns situations around because we have taken them to The Lord in prayer. However, there are sometimes when we do not feel like praying anymore. Life has hit us with all types of ups and downs and ins and outs, and it seems like the more we pray, the harder it becomes for us. No matter how difficult life becomes we must keep praying. The Scripture reminds us to continue in prayer and watch in the same with thanksgiving. I encourage you today to continue to pray. Life has its shares of issues but continue to pray no matter how difficult it may be. Continue to pray even when you feel like your prayers are not being heard. Continue to pray even when it seems like things are not getting any better. Do not let the things you are going through effect how you pray. The more storms should mean more prayers. The more challenges you go through in life just means you will have to pray more, having faith enough to believe your prayers are not falling on deaf ears. The Lord hears your prayers, and He will answer you. So, watch with thanksgiving knowing your answer is on the way, and thank God in advance for hearing and answering your prayer. Build your prayer life, and do not allow anything to sway, deter, or keep you from prayer. I will pray no matter what, knowing my God hears me when I pray. Storms may come and winds may blow, but I will continue to pray my way through them all, and thanking God for bringing me out even when I am still in. Since I will pray and thanks God in all situations, I have no doubt, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

Lord, I cannot thank you enough for always hearing me when I pray. Thank you for being there always and always answering me. Thank you Lord for the prayers you have answered. Thank you Lord for the answers that are on the way. Thank you Lord in advance for all the blessings you will pour on my life. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
