When Do I Need To Stop Praying?

 

What would you do if you found yourself gasping—panting—for air?

What would you do if survival depended on life support, yet you still had to carry on with daily activities because you weren’t bedridden? Imagine a condition where your ability to interact with others hinges entirely on your ability to stay connected to that life support.

But what if life support wasn’t enough? What if you still needed to live—to function fully and carry out every life activity properly? What would you do at that very moment?

I never knew there would come a time when prayer would become more than a means to an end for me. It became life support—or perhaps, my very source of life. Because I have found this gift, this presence—a great sense of satisfying.

Prayer has unveiled revelations I would’ve otherwise fumbled around in the dark for. Beyond presenting my desires to God, prayer has become a signal I send to heaven: Here I am—can we reconnect? Can there be a union that births only what You have spoken concerning us?

Now that I’ve stepped into this reality of prayer, I often respond to issues by asking, “Have you prayed about it?” or “Have you sought God’s counsel?”

Yes, there are times when studying the Word may seem like the best approach—but have you considered that to move beyond just knowing God's words to experiencing their reality, we must press further in prayer?

There are still depths I haven’t yet reached through prayer—depths I would gladly explore if the Holy Spirit grants me the strength and quickening. Still, I am deeply grateful for the truths God has revealed to me in the place of prayer.

Prayer is not our last resort—but how often have we gone up and down searching for answers, directions, peace, a spouse, or fulfillment, when we could simply pause and come before the God who already holds the blueprint?

Without prayer, life feels like being on artificial support—relying on others to hold us up for fear of collapse. But God has given us prayer so we do not faint in times of adversity. Prayer is our anchor. It is the currency of heaven.

Would you use that currency with urgency?

Would you invest more time in this divine exchange?

And Luke 18:1 message version states clearly "Jesus told them a story showing that it was necessary for them to pray consistently and never quit".

Men always ought to pray!

In all times, in all things, and for every purpose—pray.
