Our prayer life reveals our level of faith and how big God is to us.
When we come to understand “pray without ceasing,” it is then we will realize we need God always for everything. If we pray in time of need only then God is nothing more than a genie figure to us. If we pray occasionally God is nothing more than an occasional God. But when we pray continuously God is God of everything in our life. God deals with each of us individually in a personal relationship. Through prayer, through His word, through fellowship, through worship, through Christ, through the Holy Spirit. Is God, your God all the time or is God Only God when you need him? A.W. Tozer said this ”Every man lives by faith the non-believer as well as the saint one by faith in natural laws, and the other by faith in God. God's word says this: “Now he told them a parable on the need for them to pray always and not give up. “There was a judge in a certain town who didn’t fear God or respect people. And a widow in that town kept coming to him, saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ “For a while he was unwilling, but later he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or respect people, yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice, so that she doesn’t wear me out by her persistent coming.’” Then the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. Will not God grant justice to his elect who cry out to him day and night? Will he delay helping them? I tell you that he will swiftly grant them justice. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” Luke 18:1-8 CSB Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-19
