“Praying always with all prayer...”
(Eph. 6:18)
The above scripture along with companion texts as: continue in prayer; pray without ceasing; instant in prayer; praying night and day; etc. show prayer can and should be made anywhere and everywhere. Without argument we should have a regular place of prayer, but it is not to be thought of as limited only to our closets. Prayer is adaptable to unlimited geographical spheres. Wherever we are, whatever the condition, we can pray. Pray not only on your knees but on the go.
You can pray standing in the marketplace (grocery); at the well, as Abraham’s servant (at a water fountain); on a sickbed, as Hezekiah (in the hospital); in prison, as Paul (shut-ins); sitting in your home, as David (in your rocking chair); even when hanging on a cross! Wherever you are, prayer is! George Mac Donald writes, “Never wait for fitter time or place to talk to Him. To wait till thou go to church or to thy closet is to make Him wait. He will listen as thou walkest.”
“Had Peter waited to pray for a better place, he would have drowned in despair.”
