Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; (Romans 12:12)
Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. (Acts 12:5)
Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly. (Proverbs 3:34)
I don't know about you, but praying doesn't come naturally to me. Something that comes easier is worrying. The scorners can be worrying, and I'm sure the believers were justly worried when their favourite preacher Peter was in prison, likely to be killed. We even worry about our prayer life, that we aren't praying enough.
So let's stop the worrying and do what the believers did. Let's use that worry as a motivator to pray without ceasing. When something worries us, let's pray about it. No need to muse on it or rant about it, keep praying about it until God brings us peace.
Make it so Lord.
