You don't have to be down on your hands and knees praying frantically to be heard. Prayer is something you're doing ALL the time no matter what else you're doing.--It's like thinking on your feet! You can be anointed and Spirit-led in anything you do! If you're thinking and praying about what you're doing and asking the Lord for wisdom, He can inspire you! His Word says, "Pray without ceasing!" (1Thes.5:17)
Ask the Lord about everything before you do it. Make sure that's what He wants you to do. "In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths." (Pro.3:6) Stopping your activity and asking the Lord for His help shows your reliance on Him and brings a hush to your spirit.
The Lord wants to be recognised, He wants you to know that you need Him. Lots of things can happen that are totally beyond your control, but not the Lord's! So keep close to the Lord, always praying and claiming His protection, always asking the Lord to bless, keep and protect you, and He will.
Keep us close to You, Lord, and help us to stay in Thy Will and obedient, following moment by moment. Every moment keep our hearts right with You, Jesus, our motives right, our will right, and everything right with You. Thank You Jesus!
