KEEP PRAYING !!!! BY BRIAN LUKE LEEMAN

When you face a tough decision's in your life , do you pray ?

In the Good Times , do you pray just like you would in the bad times ?

Or do you do only pray when things are going great ?
Do you

Let's go to the Bible and see What God says about prayer :

1 Thessalonians 5:17

New King James Version (NKJV)

 17 pray without ceasing,

New International Version (NIV)

Ephesians 6:18

New International Version (NIV)

18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

In 1 Thessalonians  5:17, God calls us to pray without ceasing ! Which means no matter the situation in life , don't stop praying!!!

Praying without ceasing keeps open   communication with God , It is letting God  know you are trusting him and leaning on his understanding .

In Ephesians 6:18 , God Wants us to pray in the Holy spirit   with everything that goes on in life.  An to be alert and to always pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ.   Sometime we just tend to God With needs or problems and forget to pray for others needs and stuff they going through.  It is not wrong to pray for ourselves but  we need to pray for other people too .

Another important reason we need to pray is to stay pure and resit temptation. 

Matthew 26:41

New International Version (NIV)

41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

June 9th of this year will my 5th year sober , If i didn't  have a good prayer life like i do , i would not be here today.

When i tempted , i get into the word and pray for God's guidance.

There are times when i have falling into temptation but when i  have , i repent and ask God to help not to fall into temptation .

In closing i want to leave you with this quote,  Don’t pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it. A man is powerful on his knees. ~ Corrie Ten Boom
