Every Christian, no matter how immature, has the Spirit of God within him, crying, “Abba! Father!” (Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:6). Every Christian, no matter how distracted and inarticulate, was made to “call upon the name of our Lord,” along with all of God’s people (Genesis 4:26; Psalm 105:1; 1 Corinthians 1:2). Every Christian, no matter how small in faith, is invited to ask, seek, and knock at their Father’s door (Matthew 7:7–8). Unceasing prayer is our birthright and privilege as children of God; we are not ourselves without it.
One day soon, you will not struggle to pray. Prayer will feel as natural as breathing, as pleasurable as tasting fruit from the trees of the New Jerusalem. Until then, persevere to become the person God is remaking you to be. Ask, praise, thank, and confess to your Father — and find that he hears and helps without ceasing.
