Beloved, as Christians what should be part of us is prayers. In our endeavors, it should be one of the things we must never forget to leave out. The reason being that, that’s the easiest way we can talk to our Father about everything that concerns us in the walk of our Christian faith. Therefore I urge you to take on the prayer mantle as we continually express our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we thank you for your word. We ask that You strengthen and also inculcate in us the behavior of praying in our day to day activities. For your word admonishes us in 1 Thessalonians 5:7 to pray without ceasing, in Jesus Christ name we’ve prayed, amen.
