PRAYER TEAM—PARTNERS IN PRAISING GOD IN PRAYER 

"Pray without ceasing."
1 Thessalonians 5:17

Continuous Prayer

Therefore wherever there is a Christian, there is none other than the Holy Spirit, who does nothing but pray without ceasing. Even though one does not move one’s lips and form words continuously, one’s heart nonetheless does beat incessantly; and, like the pulse and the heart in the body, it beats with sighs such as these: “Oh, dear Father, please let Thy name be hallowed, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done among us and everyone!” And when blows fall, when temptations thicken, and adversity presses harder, then such sighing prayers become more fervent and also find words. A Christian without prayer is just as impossible as a living person without a pulse. The pulse is never motionless; it moves and beats constantly, whether one is asleep or something else keep one from being aware of it.

From Sermons on the Gospel of John, Chapters 14-16 (Luther’s Works 24:89)
