Scripture Prayer

Biblical scriptures about Prayer and Praying

SCRIPTURE PRAYER READING:

"pray without ceasing" 1 Thess. 5:17

My favorite prayer reading is 1 Thessalonian 5:17. It's a reminder to always pray, no matter what.

It's not enough to pray when something is wrong, or when something is exceptionally right, for that matter.

We should always pray, all day everyday. Silently or aloud. God is always with us, so we can talk to every minute of every hour if we like.

Enjoy the scripture prayer readings. And remember, don't stop praying!
