Prayer

In 'The Saving Life of Christ,' by Maj. W. Ian Thomas, there's a concept of prayer that I love.

I had a neat experience with some of the cast of TMJ and pur director, Erina. Before rehearsal we usually have a pray and yesterday we shared some prayer requests. That practice was probably the best yet.

"...'Pray without ceasing" (1 Thess. 5:17), and here the word to pray does
not mean to beg or to plead as if God were unwilling to give - but simply to
expose by faith every situation as it arises, to the all-sufficiency of the One
who indwells you by His life. Can any situation possibly arise, in any
circumstances, for which He is not adequate? Any pressure, promise, problem,
responsibility or temptation for which the Lord Jesus Himself is not adequate?
If He be truly God, there cannot be a single one! "And (He is) declared to be
the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the
resurrection from the dead" (Rom. 1:4) - and of this, His resurrection life, we
are made partakers! This being so, applying His adequacy by faith to every
situation as it arises, will leave you with no alternative but to obey the
injunction of 1 Thess. 5:18 - "In everything give thanks!""
