"Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances"
"Let us contunually offer to God a sacrifice of praise"
"always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ"
"Pray in the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and request"
"I used to read these passages in a fog of guilt, imagining saints that prayed throughout the night....I read them now not as a perpetual guilt trip but as a call to a Godward oreintation. Prayer means keeping company with God who is already present." Phillip Yancey
Prayer continues to be a mystery to me! But I have given up on trying to to figure out how it works and actually just keep practicing it - even with all its seeming contradictions and irrationality. I believe the creator of the universe - my father - knows how it works so I'll keep doing it.
I know it changes things - How? ......well thats up to dad!!!!
