Growing into a Lifestyle of Prayer
Main Texts

Introduction
The ultimate goal is not merely scheduled prayer times.

The goal is a life connected to God continuously.
 
Paul instructed believers to:
“Pray without ceasing.”

This does not mean praying every second.

It means maintaining ongoing awareness of God’s presence throughout the day.
