In Everything Give Thanks,
It goes on to say for this is the will of God in Christ
for you. Paul also said "do not quench the Spirit".
If our hearts and minds are always focused on our
Lord then the chances of us going astray become
very rare. So by saying do not quench the Spirit,
it is saying don't mix the Spirit with earthly matters.
So that habit is maintained by our constant prayer.
It really is not difficult. If we don't have time to stop
and pray in solitude sometimes, then we can pray
as we go about what we are doing, Driving a car
for example or waiting for an appointment or other
daily matters. We can be standing there mashing
potatoes or sweeping the floor, we can easily be
doing that with the love of God. In those simple ways
by habit we become unceasingly prayer as Paul says.
