I keep up a running dialogue with my phone throughout the day. I use my phone for checking emails, sending and receiving texts, and even taking calls. I watch my phone for flight updates when I travel and scout out places to eat on the road. I keep my eyes on the news and of course, whatever’s happening in the world of sports.

Paul encouraged us to keep up a running dialogue with the Lord. He wrote this encouragement to the church members in Ephesus: Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With all this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Just like we do with our phones, check in with the Lord throughout the day. Pray anytime, pray for whatever’s on your mind. Talk with the Lord. Pray for friends and family, pray for each other, and always pray for God’s people wherever they may be.

But mostly pray, pray, pray.
