Pray Without Ceasing!

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Rejoice always; pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Last Sunday we were treated to a communion hymn sung by our fabulously talented Angel Choir.  Watching them sing Rise and Shine and Give God Your Glory, Glory (the "arky song") was one of the highlights of my day.  Angel Choir days have become my favorite Sundays for more reasons than I can list. Right at the top of that list is the opportunity to witness this young group practicing what I call full-body worship! Singing, spinning, hopping, clapping, waving - every bit of that belongs in worship and in prayer! Prayer is about recognizing God's glory and giving thanks.  Watching these kids do just that was a great reminder to me that I could stand to spice things up a bit myself and think outside the box when it comes to my own prayer life.

As we think about incorporating prayer into our daily lives at home, let's look to our children more often to guide us to spontaneous joy!
