Prayer Catechism Question #17

Q. What does it mean to "pray without ceasing?"

A. Praying without ceasing is living our lives "on speakerphone" with God.

Praying "without ceasing" is not being constantly on our knees and disengaged from the rest of the world. It is, however, maintaining a vital connection with God through directed thoughts, meditation, simple spoken and unspoken prayers, and conscious and unconscious dependence on God in Christ throughout our days (Neh. 2:4, 1 Thess. 5:17).
