The Bible does not say we should pray sometimes but, rather, at all times. It is possible to walk and chew gum at the same time. A mother can go about her daily chores and still be lifting her heart to God in prayer for her sick child.
Having a place and time to pray each day is a good habit, but when we leave our closets we are not to leave our prayer life there. David prayed three times a day, but that was not the only time he prayed. Read the Psalms and you’ll find he was a habitual pray-er.
The term “Breath a prayer,” has more Biblical truth connected to it than most of us realize. It is the very thing that sustains our Spiritual lives. Therefore we read in the scriptures that we are to be, “Instant in prayer”; “Always praying”; “Pray without ceasing”; Pray[ing] night and day”; “ Continuing instant in prayer”; “In everything by prayer.”
I like what my wife wrote recently in one of her articles, “My prayer life has evolved into more of an ongoing dialogue than a scheduled audience.”
