In everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.Philippians 4:6
The Apostle says to us that we should let all our requests be made known to God by prayer and petition. How can we do this? Shall we pray and petition all day long? Because of the command to pray without ceasing, many people think they should use many words or repeat the Lord’s Prayer many times over. But the Savior does not want such prattling. To pray and petition in everything simply means this: to stand prayerfully before the Lord always, day and night, whether one is upright or lying down, walking or sitting, working or resting—at all times, in every situation, in whatever one is doing.
We must understand clearly that our prayer goes to God. We must always remain aware of the presence of the Savior and never lose sight of him.
