Jesus prayed at His baptism, when He woke up, when He went to sleep, before He ate, when He had a big decision to make, when He was tempted, and before His death. If we pray without ceasing, it won’t be long between our last prayer and our last breath.
                                              • I Thessalonians 5:18 - This does not mean that we should rejoice even when evil happens. It means we should have a general attitude of rejoicing, not of constant complaining.
