“…You understand my thought from afar. You scrutinize my path and my lying down, and are intimately acquainted with all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue, behold, O Lord, You know it all. (Psa.139:2-4)
If my writing is not a prayer, how close do I think God is? If my conversation with my wife is not a prayer, how near do I think He stands? If I wash dishes and it is not a prayer, am I believing that He is making home in me? And if my every remembrance of you is not a prayer, how much do I believe you are loved?
We have a God who is always listening and He has made us able to pray without ceasing. What, therefore, is not to be a prayer? Riding a bus, driving a car, purchasing groceries, cleaning the apartment, paying taxes, giving gifts, reading, listening, all these are prayer when I am believing God’s interest in my life.
Why would God know our thoughts before we speak them if He was not exceedingly abundantly interested in us? He gave Christ to be our life, how much more interested could He be? When I, in obedience, pray without ceasing, my life is worship and the Lord’s joy is mine.
It is not difficult to talk to a friend; hours may go by and you do not even notice. God is greater than a friend even as He is that also. May my lifetime, and your lifetime, go by in communion with Him; that will be as good as life can get. What would you not think to pray about? Talk to God about that very thing.
