Why is it necessary to continue to pray?

I take the pray without ceasing to be similar to what Kat said. I just talk to God all the time in my head... haha.... please don't think I'm crazy! I don't hear audible voices I promise!

I'm not always the best at it, especially when I should be doing it more earnestly during time's of temptation, but I'm a work in progress!

I'll pray for my brothers and sisters too whether they ask for it or not. I don't know everyone's needs but it doesn't stop me from at least remembering you all. We are the body of Christ, why should we not care then for ourselves? I know that my brothers and sisters have prayed for me on so many occasions and probably do even without my asking. I think its the right thing to do and I do it out of a genuine love that my Father has taught me over time. All things though, even prayer, as God wills.

God bless,
Alex

Rickylittleton nailed it, he is spot on, Christ is a way of life and this life can be referred to as prayer, a life of prayer, praying continuously is another way of saying your life is hidden in Christ. 

The life you live now is in Christ, our life is hidden in Christ. Its like Alex said, I talk to God all day long, it’s a relationship with the best friend you’ll ever have.  :)

prayer has definitely been evolving for me....growing up i was taught we should spend a certain number of minutes on our knees in formal prayer each day....now it is more of an open and continuous communication as i go thru my day...sometimes i am doing the talking, sometimes scriptures and thoughts come to mind that i meditate on.....sometimes i am awakened from sleep with a very specific scripture or train of thought ..... that to me is 'prayer without ceasing'....

Speaking of dreams I had a wonderful beautiful dream that put a smile on my face from ear to ear about all of you here. I was a little sad though when I woke up in the sense that I wanted it to continue but I definetely smile and was smiling after I had a chance to think upon it.

We were all together, all of us, the body of Christ, seated together at a table. We were near some railroad tracks and it was definitely an outdoor area as there were large trees between us and the tracks but you could see those tracks still. Everyone was there but everyone was like a child. What i mean by that is for example, kat had her wisdom and experience, everything that makes her who she is but she was a girl no older than 14 or 15 in apperence, running, sitting etc.... I know you all might laugh and find it silly but it was amazing to be seated with everyone and laughing and talking and sharing scripture etc.. It just made me so happy because I knew our Father was letting me know He's still here with us in those little ways of His. It was the feeling I guess, its hard to desribe... elated comes close I suppose but that's what made it all the more memorable. I was just so happy and everyone was happy.

It was nothing more than a dream but like I said, I'd give for many things for more dreams like those. Many nights I can't recall my dreams if I even do dream at all. Well don't think me crazy please.. it was just a dream but you all were there.

Slightly off topic but I wanted to share because I've been meaning to. This was just the other night.

What a great dream, Alex. Sometimes God just gives us a little taste of the sweetness that is to come. So, we weren't debating, explaining, or generally misbehaving?  ;)  Sounds good to me!
