Without Ceasing

1 Thessalonians 5:17: "Pray without ceasing."

I use this verse, in reminder, to go throughout my day humbly, reverently. In Matthew we are shown the model of a prayer, and how to start it: "Our Father which are in heaven, Hallowed be thy name."

It is never my place to approach the Throne of Grace in a demanding way, with a forceful tone, or a disrespectful heart. I am nothing more than filthy rags, when compared to... anything really. Therefore, I must pray with humility and reverence.

And, as I observe 1 Thessalonians 5:17, I cannot properly do so unless I am continually reverent and humble.
