Praying without Ceasing

OK. I got another one y'all. I claim 2008 to be a year that we experience breakthrough in our prayer lives. We've got to shake off every weight and press!!!! That's the only way that we'll have that "victory" in our Christian walk.

Pray Without Ceasing...
In Romans 15:30, Paul begs the saints in Rome to strive together with him in their prayers. The word translated strive means primarily to contend as in athletic games or in a fight. In other words, the prayer which prevails with God is the prayer into which we put our whole soul, stretching out toward God in intense and agonizing desire. Much of our modern prayer lacks power because it lacks heart. We rush into God's presence, run through a string of petitions, jump up, and go out. If someone asks us an hour later what we prayed for, often we cannot remember. If we put so little heart into our prayers, we cannot expect God to put much heart into answering them.

Well...
