A Joyful Guide

From: Boyd Bailey Ministries

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
 

When we became followers of Jesus we were born into His spiritual ecosystem. The air of His environment is pure and cleansing. So, as faithful disciples we learn to use our spiritual lungs to breathe in the oxygen of God’s ongoing awareness. 


Prayer is the will of God, that reveals the will of God. We know without a doubt we traffic in the middle of the Lord’s will as we engage in prayer. Constant prayer is a joyful guide.

Not praying is like holding our breath; we deny spiritual oxygen to our thoughts. When we pray without ceasing, or put another way, staying connected to Christ throughout the day, we are alert to the Spirit’s promptings, and our spiritual antennae are tuned in, clear and receptive.
