The Bible and our Lord’s example call Christians to be a people of prayer.  We are to pray at all times, for all things, alone, with out family, and with the church: “Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints” (Eph. 6.18).

All Christians agree that prayer is an important part of their Christian walk.  Yet, how many Christians can say that their lives a marked by prayer?  The Apostle Paul’s letters have countless references and exhortations to prayer.  We see, for example, Paul writing to the Thessalonians, “We rejoice for your sake before our God, night and day praying” (1 Thess. 3.9b-10a).  So, if our lives are supposed to be marked by prayer, what are the ways that we can live this out?
