1 Thessalonians 5:17 (KJV) Pray without ceasing. 

The believer’s need of the Lord is that thrust of this statement. Because he is dependent on the Lord for life emanates from Him, the fountain of life, therefore, the believer is exhorted to pray unceasingly.

This is the way of continual sustenance. It is not an impossible way of life because communion with the Lord is a naturally the source of wisdom and strength and life.

“Without ceasing” is one word in the Greek. It that speaks of constancy and continual dependance, without stopping. Just as the branch is dependant upon the vine for life so the believer upon the Lord. And thus, the injunction “pray without ceasing”. Amen.
