Pray Without Ceasing

"Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." {1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NASB}

The adverb translated "without ceasing" was used in the original Greek text to refer to a hacking cough. A hacking cough is not something that occurs all the time. But it does keep coming back. And it comes back frequently.

Here's how to apply this Scripture, every day:

• Pray before every activity.
• Pray before every decision.
• Pray when you come under spiritual attacks.

This will result in more success and fewer mistakes—in everything.
