I see people all over the place wearing these new bluetooth headsets. You know, the kind that lets you talk on your cell phone without having to be connected to it via a wire. Those things are pretty neat, but there are downsides to them, too. When I talk with someone who is wearing one, I can never tell whether they’re on the phone.
Our prayer life should be like that, as well. Several times in the Paul’s epistles, he tells his readers (and by extension, us) to pray ceaselessly. Praying ceaselessly doesn’t have to mean that you’re always walking around with your eyes closed or constantly muttering under your breath or moving your lips (unless you want to scare the people around you), but your mind should be continually ready to jump to prayer, to bring everything to God. Keep your spiritual bluetooth headset on so that you can be ready to pray about everything. And next time you see someone wearing one of those headsets, let it remind you to pray!
Well said!
