Prayer-streaming

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

What it means to pray continually? Is it literally meaning praying 24/7? Is that even possible? Perhaps this can be interpreted in praying very often. Personally, I think this also means to be constantly aware of God's presence in every second of your life. We might not be able to always think about God. But even when we don't consciously make an effort to think about Him, we can still be sensitive to what He is trying to show us throughout the day. Whenever we have time to think throughout the day, like commuting to work, taking a break, walking, etc, we can always talk to God. I remembered a brother sharing about talking to God in a g-chat window, we can always leave the channel opened to talk to Him so that we invite Him to every part of our daily life.

I think that prayer is not just about setting a specific time to talk to God, but a bonding time when we can share and bond closer to God, and He will also speak and show things that we normally wouldn't be able to see.

Prayer-streaming, a constant exercise of being aware that God is with you, and that He is showing you little blessing throughout the day :) and that He desires your attention as a Father. This will make even the most routine and simple days to be so delightful, because God is with you.
