Rejoice always,
pray without ceasing
give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
1 Thess. 5:17-18
“A prayerless person is ungrateful because he doesn’t thank God. He is self-righteous because he doesn’t confess his sins to God. He is self-centered because he doesn’t ask God to bless other people. He is presumptuous because he doesn’t pray for his daily needs. He is irreverent because he doesn’t praise God. And he is unfriendly to God because his prayerlessness evidences that he doesn’t enjoy being with God.” - Greg Nichols
