Praying Without Ceasing

Praying Without Ceasing

by Robert B. Thompson
I often suggest to the congregation of Mount Zion that they ask Jesus about everything they do. If they repeatedly stopped everything they are doing and prayed, or spend a good part of each day on their knees in their bedroom. this would be a bondage rather than a blessing.
It is difficult to put into words exactly what I mean.
Brother Lawrence, of the Carmelite monastery in Paris, expressed what I am experiencing and teaching. He shut himself in with God in the kitchen in which he worked. Everything he did he did unto the Lord, although his work was menial
I have expressed much the same thing, by saying that we should give all of our decisions to the Lord Jesus, not leaning to our own understanding but acknowledging Christ in all that we do.
So yes, it is a case of praying without ceasing. But one could get a wrong impression from this. It is more a way of living, of thinking, of acting, of speaking. It is a flow of understanding like a river of thought. It becomes second nature.
