In these difficult times of this Global Pandemic with Coronavirus (COVID-19), 1 Thessalonians is calling upon us to “Pray without ceasing.” So, what does it mean to pray all the time? It means to be always on the positive side of life.

To pray without ceasing is never to doubt, but to always trust in the Lord your God. This inner communion is essential to the soul and natural to the mind. It is a constant recognition of that Presence in which we live and move and have our being.

¹⁷ Pray without ceasing.

¹⁸ In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18

In everything, gives thanks. It means we must have an attitude of gratitude. How we love to do for those who co-operate with, and are grateful for, our small endeavours. An attitude of gratitude is most healthful and conveys the realization that we are in heaven.
