Study 1: Consistency = Praying Without Ceasing

Head

Heart

1. Before you watched the video, what would have been your instinctive reaction to 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18?

2. What keeps you from keeping God near you all the time? Are there situations where you especially feel far from God on a day to day basis? Write those down and make a note of them.

Hands

1. Pray and thank God that he is with you at all times and in every circumstance.

2. Ask him to direct your heart to him throughout today.

3. Take a few moments to remind yourself to include God in your day today. For example:

   1. Set reminders on your phone to go off every hour that say things like, “Ask for God’s help,” “Thank God,” “Confess a sin.” When those reminders come up, don’t even stop what you’re doing, but just pray.

   2. Or, write those reminders on sticky notes and leave them around your kitchen or bathroom, on your car dashboard, or on your desk at work.
