How often do we pray in the Spirit? Have our prayers become a tradition or a ritual that we follow on a routine basis?
Prayer is not something to be done as a regular chore, rather, it is to be experienced. When we pray in the Spirit, all worries are taken away, all burdens are cast away and we will be able to revel in that peace of God that passes all understanding.
Pray for each other and be watchful with all perseverance.
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints. - Ephesians 6:18
Let not prayer become all about ourselves. We need to be constantly alert and watchful against the evil forces that tries to subdue us and our fellow brethren. Let us uphold each other in prayer with all perseverance. That is the most effective means to be there for someone in need; to hand them and their burdens over to the loving arms of Jesus Christ, which is also our responsibility as Christians and it is to be done in love.
