The Apostle Paul repeatedly counseled the churches that he planted and later wrote to with admonitions to pray … a lot: Thessalonians "Pray without ceasing" Romans "Be constant in prayer" Ephesians "Pray in the Spirit at all times" Colossians "Continue steadfastly in prayer" Philippians "In everything by prayer and supplication … let your requests be made known to God."
Richard Foster observes that there is a "desperate need for unceasing prayer" in our present-day culture as we go through our endless activities "with scattered minds and noisy hearts." He then suggests that unceasing prayer speaks peace to the chaos. By doing so, "Our fractured and fragmented activities (find) a new center of reference and we experience peace, stillness, and serenity."
If this resonates with you, join us for a weekend retreat of Practicing the Presence of God through unceasing prayer.
