Wherever you are, keep the communication lines between you and God open so that every moment is as fruitful as possible.
I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and 1 Thessalonians says to “pray without ceasing… for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Okay, so, it’s God’s will to keep praying at all times. That means when I’m at work and feel stumped about something, I pray. On Sunday mornings, my husband and I pray for our pastor while driving to church. When my hip starts hurting and I’m in great pain, I pray for courage. When the store clerk seems overwhelmed, or the Amazon delivery guy seems harried, I pray for them. Wherever I am, alone or with others, I want to keep the communication lines between me and God open so that every moment is as fruitful as possible. Ask God to open your eyes today to the kingdom work all around you, ’cause he wouldn’t want you to miss out on any opportunity. And that’s why he commands you to keep praying.
