Prayer - A Constant Need

It is a concern of mine that perhaps we (definitely me, anyway) have treated prayer as a last resort rather than the first response it should be in our lives. Paul's words, "Pray without ceasing" (1Thessalonians 5:17) indicate prayer should permeate our lives - all that we do. Yet, I find myself lacking and guilty of waiting only until things get bad or a problem appears before I become the praying person I ought to be. Prayer should be present regardless of the environmental circumstances of life. Such inconsistency, no doubt, dissapoints the Father of Lights. I plead with you to resolve with me to change this grave error in conduct.

"Brethren, pray for us" (1Thessalonians 5:25).
