Jesus said, “Men ought always to pray, and not to faint.” Before returning to Heaven, He told His disciples, “Watch ye therefore, and pray always.” Paul’s personal testimony was that he was “praying always,” and of Epaphras, it is said that he was “always laboring fervently...in prayers.” It is recorded of Cornelius that he “prayed to God alway.”
The little cliché, “All we can do now is pray” may sound spiritual, but when analyzed, it’s anything but that. When you hear this statement, you know you’re listening to a person who believes prayer is their last resort. Let’s face it; most of our problems stem from our having a prayer problem. Prayer is to be first and foremost. It has nothing to do with how we feel. There’s a gospel song that says, “When you don’t feel like praying, pray.”
