Luke 18.1 Jesus tells us men ought always to pray ---- In 1 Thessalonians 5:17 scripture says "Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." This comes from a larger section starting in verse 12: "Live in peace with one another. We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone. See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people. Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." It is a call to remain in a prayerful attitude as part of being thankful to God for all He has done. It is not a case of "if you pray": Jesus Christ Himself took that as a "given", because He said three times "when you pray", (not "if"), then said "you should pray this way" and went on to give the Lord's Prayer as an example :- Mat 6:5 And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the open streets so that they may be seen of men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.

Mat 6:6 But you, when you pray, enter into your room and shutting your door, pray to your Father in secret. And your Father seeing in secret will repay you in the open.

Mat 6:7 But when you pray, do not be babbling vain words, as the nations; for they think that they shall be heard in their much speaking. Mat 6:8 Then do not be like them, for your Father knows what things you have need of before you ask Him.

Mat 6:9 So, then, you should pray this way: Our Father who is in Heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

Mat 6:10 Your kingdom come; Your will be done, as it is in Heaven, also on the earth.

Mat 6:11 Give us today our daily bread,

Mat 6:12 and forgive us our debts as we also forgive our debtors.

Mat 6:13 And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil, for Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory to the ages. Amen.
