“Make your life a prayer.” (I Thessalonians 5:17, the Passion Translation)

What a powerful thing to do! Living life as a prayer is actively, intentionally, bringing healing to our world. It is that conscious connection with God that brings the power of divine goodness and love to light in our human experiences.

This verse tells us not only to take time for prayer—for those quiet alone times seeking and discovering God’s Truth for us—but to pray with our being, with our living, at all times.

How do we do this? I think it is first by wanting to. It is by yearning to understand what it means to be aware of God’s presence, listening at all times, and letting what we are hearing and feeling guide us in our actions. So, we are not only thinking about God, we are also behaving in ways that resonate with His qualities, His purpose, the goodness that our conscientious prayers is revealing to us.

The noise of the world and our own mortal thinking can try to distract us from living this prayer. It can seem like a burden, and yet it is in fact so freeing. Living life as a prayer is releasing Life to God. It is allowing ourselves to be who God made us to be, and humbly, willingly, gratefully, letting God show us what is right in each moment.

It takes commitment, but it can feel so rewarding to be a living prayer—living testimony to God’s Life, His Love, His Truth, His beauty, His goodness, and His boundless saving grace.
