Welcome to Every Thought Captive, I’m Phil Steiger.
It is hard to always pray, but that is what Paul asks of us in 1 Thessalonians 5. In fact, in verses 16-18, Paul asks Christians to be joyful always, to pray always, and to give thanks always. It is hard to do those things from time to time, much less all the time. Is there a way to get there?
Maybe the most practical way to do these things is to change the way we see the world and put God at the center of it all. The monk Brother Lawrence once said that he determined to make God the aim of all his thoughts and the end of all his actions. He wanted to do and think nothing that did not end up with and in God. Have we reflected yet today on God’s presence with us?
