How do you pray without ceasing? I've heard tidbits about great men who do this by living their life as if in prayer. When we pray we humble ourselves to our knees in worship to our maker, so they live each moment in humility, with a broken heart and a contrite spirit. When we pray we focus our thoughts on God, so they live each moment with an eye single to His glory, and they look unto Him in every thought, with every thought, word, and action carried out with the purpose of glorifying Him. When we pray we give thanks, and so these men live with an attitude of gratitude. Gratitude for all blessings, and all trials, and all challenges, and everything.
I don't know if this is true but I heard once that a certain prophet lived his life this way, as if in continual prayer to God, and at night, with all his strength spent, he knelt down and simply uttered "in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen." He closed his day with the name of the Savior, having spent every moment as if in prayer and worship of his Heavenly Father. His day was a prayer to God. His whole day.
