Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints
Bible Reading for A Year:[bible]Psalm9[/bible];[bible]Revel15[/bible];[bible]Nehem10-11[/bible]
Sometimes, we want to get out of the bustle to pray. However, God wants us to pray all the time. Even believers have the motto "prayer is the breath of Christian." But how can we pray when we are busy along the time?
The author of the classic book at the seventh century, Brother Lowrence gives some tips in his book entitled "Practising the Presence of God." Brother Lowrence who is a simple chef at a monastery in France changes any common and usual tasks such as preparing food and washing dishes as an act of praise and communion with God. We can do that similar thing, we do everything, and make it as a compliment and worshipping to God.
The second thing is by lifting a brief of conversation prayers with God. Use short sentences such as,"You are with me." "I accept thy grace." Or you can also quote the Word of God as: "For me to live is Christ." "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want." Isn’t easy?
Like a musician practicing chords every day in order to play beautiful music easily, we also have to force our selves to remember God all of the days. At first, we maybe need a reminder, sometimes we will feel the presence of God but sometimes not. But we have to keep praying and talking to Him. Because prayer is not about our feelings, but rather a continuous awareness. That's the lifestyle.
Building a friendship with God is alike building a prayer as our lifestyle all the time.

Apakah Anda rindu menerima Yesus sebagai Tuhan dan Juruslamat pribadi dalam hidup Anda?
Ikuti doa ini sekarang:
“Tuhan, saya mengakui bahwa saya orang berdosa. Saya membutuhkan Engkau. Saya percaya bahwa darahMu sanggup menghapuskan segala dosa dan kesalahanku. Saat ini, saya mengundang Engkau, Yesus Kristus, masuk dalam hati dan hidupku menjadi Tuhan dan Juruslamatku. Saya menyerahkan hidupku bagiMu dan melayaniMu.
Dalam nama Yesus aku berdoa. Amin”
