Devoted to Prayer • House of Prayer Week 3
The direction in 1 Thessalonians to "Pray without ceasing." is not a call to walk around 24/7 audibly praying to the exclusion of all else. Rather, it's a call to be ceaselessly devoted to prayer and having an attitude of prayer. Adam Barnett continues our House of Prayer series by reminding us of this call to devotion.

Devoted to Prayer
House of Prayer | Week 3

“The Church will win the world for Christ when—and only when—her people are fully immersed in prayer.”
// Evelyn Underhill
Romans 12:12 ESV
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
“Prayer is more than self-stimulation. It is not a method of creating a positive mental attitude in ourselves. Rather, prayer is in large part a matter of creating in ourselves a right attitude with respect to God’s will. Jesus taught us persistence in prayer: keep asking, keep seeking, keep knocking. Persistent prayer makes it apparent that our petition is important to us, as it is to God.”
// Millard Erickson
“I persist; I persevere in; I continue steadfast in; I wait upon.”
1 Thessalonians 5:17 ESV
Pray without ceasing.
“It is not in the moving of the lips, but in the elevation of the heart to God, that the essence of prayer consists.”
// J.B. Lightfoot
