Be careful for nothing; but in EVERY THING BY PRAYER and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Philippians 4:6

In this famous scripture, God tells us that everything should be done by prayer. In other words, nothing should be done without prayer. Everything by prayer, nothing without prayer!

All through the Bible, we are exhorted to do everything by prayer. There are many reasons why you must live your life praying about everything. The repeated exhortation is to pray always about everything. Do everything by prayer!

There is nothing that does not need the element of prayer. Everything you do in this life, even the smallest things, is influenced by prayer. Do not let anyone tell you that something is too insignificant to pray about.

Pray about your spiritual life! Pray about your weaknesses!

Pray about your problems. Pray about your challenges.

Pray about your sexual life. Pray about your character. Pray about your temperaments. Pray about your quarrels. Pray about your failings. Pray about your promises. Pray about your finances!

Pray about your marriage. Pray about your needs. Pray about your work. Pray for your boss. Pray for a partner. Pray for a lover. Pray for help.

Pray for grace. Pray for mercy. Pray for knowledge. Pray for humility. Pray for holiness. Pray for your children. Pray about the government. Pray about your ministry. All through the Bible, you see this repeated exhortation to pray without ceasing.

Notice these biblical phrases: Everything by prayer! Praying always! Men ought always to pray! Pray always! Pray without ceasing!

1. Be careful for nothing; but in EVERY THING BY PRAYER and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Philippians 4:6

2. PRAYING ALWAYS with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Ephesians 6:18

3. And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and not to faint;

Luke 18:1

4. Watch ye therefore, and PRAY ALWAYS, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Luke 21:36

5. Pray without ceasing.

1 Thessalonians 5:17

Decide to pray about everything from today. Praying every day and praying about everything will change your life.

I can always tell when I meet people who do not pray much. You can tell the difference between pastors who pray and those who do not. There is an aura that you will not have when you do not pray. There is a blessing you will lack when you are prayerless. There is a supernatural element that is missing from your life when you are prayerless. There is some dryness that characterizes prayerless ministers and prayerless preachers.

Prayer is an expression of your faith. Prayer is speaking to somebody you cannot see. It is speaking to someone who never speaks back nor seems to answer immediately. To pray is to exercise great faith in the supernatural and the invisible! The supernatural feeling of Gods presence and the power of faith are always present on someone who prays a lot. These are seven reasons why everything should be done by prayer and nothing without prayer.

Seven Reasons Why You Should do Everything by Prayer

1. Prayer brings God into every situation.

And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease. But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, IS IT NOT BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A GOD IN ISRAEL, THAT YE GO TO ENQUIRE OF BAALZEBUB THE GOD OF EKRON?

2 Kings 1:2-3

Every time you acknowledge God in prayer, you involve God in your situation. Do you not want God to be involved in everything you are doing? God is offended when you do not acknowledge or involve Him. He wants you to pray to Him.

2. Prayer brings a supernatural element into every situation.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and HE SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Everything you do needs supernatural help if it is to succeed. There are supernatural reasons for many of the things that we are experiencing. If you acknowledge God in everything that you do, He will get involved in a mystical way. He will mysteriously guide your paths. He will work things out for you. You will see the effect of Gods involvement in all that you do.

3. Prayer brings a blessing into every situation.

And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, HE LOOKED UP TO HEAVEN, AND BLESSED, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.

Mark 6:41

Prayer brings Gods blessings into every situation that you are involved in. When Jesus prayed over the food, a blessing was released. Dont you want there to be a blessing in everything you are involved with? Prayer fights the curses that are working against you in every situation. There was a curse of a lack of food in that moment. Five thousand people needed bread and fish and there simply wasnt enough to go round. The prayer of Jesus brought in a blessing. This is what happens every time anyone prays. A blessing is released each time you pray.

And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

Revelation 22:3

This earth realm is full of curses. A curse is a frustration and an opposition to whatever you are doing. Prayer brings in Gods power to overturn the curse that is in the earth. The blessing that comes into your life when you pray, changes the course of everything.

4. Prayer brings angelic involvement into every situation.

And he was withdrawn from them about a stones cast, and KNEELED DOWN, AND PRAYED, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And THERE APPEARED AN ANGEL UNTO HIM FROM HEAVEN, strengthening him.

Luke 22:41-43

Angels can be involved in every area of your life if you want them to be. Angels are released when prayers go up. Notice how angels appeared when Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane.

5. Prayer brings the great promises of God into every situation in your life.
