What does praying unceasingly mean?
It means to pray non-stop. To ask God persistently until He shows you the way you need to take.
Why do we need to do this? Is that the reason why we have free will?
Yes. We have free will and we have the freedom to choose to do everything our heart desires but we also cannot choose the consequences that result to it. Our hearts our fickle and deceiving and it is important that we root ourselves to what God ultimately wants for us.
It is a lot better if we choose to walk in the path that God has set before us and we pray so that His leading will flow naturally to us. We can avoid being disappointed and frustrated with our lives. God gives us purpose and will for our lives!
Great souls are grown through struggles, storms, and seasons of suffering. Be patient with the process.
As James advised, “Don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed.” ~ James 1:4 MSG
