When thoughts come into your mind; things that concern you pray.  When situationsarise, pray.  When the past floods your heart with pain.  Pray, Pray, Pray.  For this is right.  This is what the Lord wants.  He wants His children to pray. He desires us to seek Him.  He desires that we pray. 

Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.  Philippians 4:6-7

In other words don’t allow your concerns to become a care, because we know how the Lord has warned us in Mark chapter four about the effects of cares, and how cares choke out the word, which will make us ineffective and powerless, but pray and give these things to Him with your whole heart.

O how important it is to pray because in doing so you’re acknowledging that you are not in control, as you yield yourself in prayer, you’re acknowledging that your Heavenly Father and your Savior have all power, and He is aware of your life and all your concerns.  He promises to perfect all things that concern you.  Psalm 138:8

He sees.  He knows and He cares.  Have faith in God and pray.

You’d be surprised of the many things you ponder throughout the day.  Catch yourself and see what you’re thinking.  And when you notice yourself pondering something, recognize and acknowledge those thoughts, and pray about those things you’re thinking about.  Pray.  Paul encouraged us to pray without ceasing.  When someone shares their concerns about something, and you hear the still small voice, saying pray for them.  Don’t be shy.  Pray.  When you’re tired, pray.  When you’re sick, pray.  When you’re confused, pray.  When you’re anxious, pray.  When you desire to break sinful habits, pray.  When you sin, and feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit, pray.  He will deliver you.  When you realize you’ve made or are making a mistake about something, pray.  When you think of your brothers and sisters in Christ, pray.  We live in a fallen world and we are faced with diverse temptations, persecutions of all kinds, and tribulation so, at all times and in all things pray.

Prayer is a powerful gift and key from our Lord that we don’t use enough.  Pray Brothers and Sisters.  I encourage you to pray.  It is tantamount at this time to remember to pray. 

The hour has come to pray.  Don’t do anything without prayer for through prayer the Spirit leads you to what is right and just.  So in all things pray.  When someone crosses your mind pray for them immediately.  When you are awaken at night with thoughts or because of a dream pray about who or what’s on your heart.  You don’t realize the effect and power of your prayers. 

You may feel as though you are not fit to go before such a Holy God, but He commands us to pray.  Even about that.  Pray about everything and for all.  For this is pleasing to God.  Pray

Remember this scripture:

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8 

Pray and believe in the Lord Jesus for the saving of your soul.  Pray.  Prayer changes things, so pray.
