“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Pray without ceasing for years has tripped me up. It seemed like an impossible task. I’d ask…”Lord, if I’m trying to broadcast a game, how do I interview a coach AND pray?” In this human thinking, I realized my idea of prayer was pretty off. What if being in constant unity with the Holy Spirit, meant constantly praying?
When I’m interviewing an athlete, talking to my brother, or exercising in the gym…I’m not doing it alone. I’m communing with and inviting in the presence of the Holy Spirit. That’s a game-changer…and a drug. Once you begin to live constantly aware of His presence, you can’t live without Him. But, here’s the catch. You need Him, to know Him.
By spending time in His Word, in His presence, in fellowship with Him He reveals Himself to you. He teaches you His ways. He reveals Himself and HE PUTS the burning desire in your heart to be with Him. It’s not something we can conjure up on our own. We’re fully reliant on the Lord, to love the Lord. When you love Him, you never cease from wanting His presence.
Be overcome by Jesus. Enjoy Him forever and ever.
