1 Thessalonians 5:16-22
Desire Him Always
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.
Commentary
“For it is your heart’s desire that to prayer. If your desire continues uninterrupted, your prayer continues also. For it was not without meaning, when the apostle said, “Pray without ceasing.” Are we to be “without ceasing” in bending the knee and prostrating the body and lifting up our hands, such that he says, “without ceasing”? If that is what “without ceasing” means, then I do not believe it is possible. There is another kind of inward prayer without ceasing, which is the desire of the heart.”

~ St Augustine

Reflection
Question 1
It is the Lord’s will for us to be consistently desiring Him in our lives. Do we take the time to include God in our day to day lives? Is pleasing Him something that is constantly on our minds?
