I just entered the word "pray" in the search box at biblegateway.com. In the NIV default setting, there are 365 scripture references to prayer. That's one for every day of the year. Interesting. As I scanned through some of the verses, there seems to be a prayer relevant to any situation we might find ourselves in: prayers of thanksgiving and praise, prayers for help and deliverance, prayers for healing and restoration, prayers for self and prayers for others.
As I explore and grow in my understanding of prayer, I'm confident that we really can be in constant dialogue with God. We really are in his presence every moment. It is so much sweeter when there is a consciousness about it, but there's also a beautiful assurance that when we belong to God, we can't not pray.
