"Worship in the Spirit on all occasions with all prayer and supplication ..."

* Luis Alberto Alves

 Curious as currently there are few Christians with life marked by prayer. They talk a lot, cite several Bible verses, but speak little before the Lord. Of course, prefer the deceitful glare of the world, full of sin, as Jesus said, that the world is evil.

When I read Paul's letter to the Ephesians, 6/18, which is highlighted: "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all prayer and supplication; with this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. " But how many people practice this orientation of Jesus Christ?

The days are evil. We should not waste time on nonsense, nitpicking. We must persevere in prayer. Means proceed in daily conversation with the Lord. Not just asking, but interceding for the lives prey in the hands of the wicked.

Curious of this story is that several members of the Christian churches believe that pastors or pastors are supermen or superwomen. They are exempt from prayers. Pure mistake. We need daily prayers, to bear carrying our cross.

Lord's servants should never neglect. The apostle Paul stresses this important letter, "Pray in the Spirit on all occasions ..." In other words, we must be alert at all times. Never let your guard down. Even in thinking we need to keep in tune with the heavens. Because from there comes our help, through Jesus Christ.
