"Pray without ceasing" in the Bible: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Is it really possible to pray without ceasing, and to give thanks in all circumstances? Most of us can probably think of situations in which it would be very difficult to praise God; but the Bible teaches us that through Christ, it is possible to maintain a spirit of praise and thankfulness in even the most trying circumstances.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Laser Praying - #8271 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
A few years ago, my wife had a severe gall bladder attack. In fact, it was so severe it was going to require having her gall bladder removed in a city 2,000 miles from home. Well I didn’t like that, but it turned out to be a gift from God! At home, the doctors would have had to go what they call the “long way.” It’s an invasive approach that takes weeks to recover from. The doctor we ended up with was an outstanding laser surgeon, and the laser took care of that problem. My wife was up in two days! Now, she could have lay there under diffused light for days, and it would have made no difference. But look at what focused light can do! Maybe we can use a little lasering when we need a change in something or someone we care about.

I need God’s power in my life, but how can I harness His millions of volts of power for the demands of my life?

Someone Else's Fault - #5913
Maybe you've honestly been hurt or wronged, and you can't do anything about the other person taking responsibility for what they've done. But you can accept the responsibility for the way you've handled it, for the wrong things you may have tried to excuse by the wrong things someone else did. Those who have been victims - and those who've been victimizers - never get free until they realize that they are now the victims of their own choices, not someone else's.

Sweat in the Bible - a Christian perspective
As his betrayal and execution approached, Jesus knew what was in store for him. He prayed so intently that his sweat beaded up like drops of blood.

Heavy Lifting Without Injuries - #5885
Sometimes the heavier the burden, the more we neglect or forget to unload it on the shoulders of our all-powerful Lord. We're so busy trying to fix it, to carry it, to solve it, that we neglect taking it to God. Sometimes when we're hurting or discouraged, we just don't feel like praying. Great! That's exactly when we need to pray the most.

Removing the Toxic Waste - #5849
Maybe you've allowed too much toxic waste to get buried in your heart. Would you talk to Jesus about that right now? Let Him help you remove all that toxic garbage that contaminates you and frankly everyone around you. Then, instead of polluting your environment, you can be a breath of fresh air!

Filled With the Good Stuff - #5791
Obedience isn't just agreeing with what God wants - it's doing it. And until God fills you with the knowledge of His will on this matter, don't move. When He does fill your heart, don't wait. By the way, don't forget that the unfolding of God's will is usually just the next step, not the whole plan. See, that will keep you close to Him day by day, waiting to see the next step.

Avoiding a Fall On Slippery Ground - #5761
Remember, many spiritual falls have one simple cause - carelessness. You have to pay attention where you're stepping. And in Jude 24 you also have an awesome promise of God to claim wherever you are. "He is able to keep you from falling."

Happy Delays - #5747
I couldn't help but reflect on the ways of God over and over in my life. How often He has seemed to be taking forever, delaying the answer I was praying for. But in every situation, without exception, there was always a good reason for what seemed like a delay.
