We should stay in constant contact with God throughout our day.

Let's continue in our closer look at the prayers of Paul as we look into Ephesians 1:15-23. Paul's prayer is motivated out of his knowledge that these believers are already consistently giving evidence that God is at work in their lives through their faith and love. Paul also uses two different words for prayer here in this passage. One signifies a set apart time and place which certainly builds consistency into our prayer life and the other word speaks of prayers offered as moved by the Hold Spirit. That's the model of a great balance in our praying. There needs to be some set times for prayer or else life would crowd it out but we also don't want to become to rigid in our practice of prayer where the only time we converse with God is at the set time. Remember Paul told the Thessalonians to constantly pray. (1 Thessalonians 5:17) We should stay in constant contact with God throughout our day.
