Pray Without Ceasing or Stopping: A Habit to Develop

Let it be our goal to do what God commands us in Scripture. Praying without ceasing is one of the commands and is our goal regarding the 2 Chronicles 7:14 World Prayer as we pray for our world today. The verse that follows is the command for us to pray without stopping (1 Thessalonians 5:17).

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 New King James Version (NKJV)
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
-- New King James Version (NKJV)

A HABIT TO DEVELOP
Now, this is what we will try to do with 2 Chronicles 7:14. We will try to pray it back to the Lord throughout the day and night.
I do not know about you, but I praying without ceasing is not a habit I have at this time. I try to do so, but it does not always work. I forget to do so. Therefore, I realize I need to develop the habit.
I do not know about you, but the reports I hear about in the news are frightening to me and are also frustrating, concerning, and maddening. I cannot help but wonder if this is indeed the end of this world. However, I do not know for sure. This makes me realize the world may be around for a longer time and it is my job as a Christian to pray for this world. Today. Without delay.
So, how do I pray for this world? 2 Chronicles 7:14 offers the answer, along with 1 Thessalonians 5:17. How do I put it into practice, though? How do I pray without ceasing 2 Chronicles 7:14? How do I/we develop the habit?
I have read several articles, Bible studies, books, and daily devotionals on how to so. Now, I hope to put it into practice and make the 2 Chronicles 7:14 World Prayer my lifelong prayer without ceasing. I want to fulfill my part in praying for the change of this world, and pray for the world to follow Jesus Christ and God's will. I want to live 1 Thessalonians 5:17 through praying 2 Chronicles 7:14 without ending.

DAY 1 AND LEARNING TO PRAY ALL THE TIME 2 CHRONICLES 7:14
Today, I will read 2 Chronicles 7:14 as much as possible and try to commit the verse to memory.
I will try to read and pray it at least once every hour throughout the time I am awake. Then, I will try to pray it every time I wake in the night, as I fall asleep, and when I wake in the morning.
My goal is to be intentional and purposeful in thinking it, reading it, and praying 2 Chronicles 7:14.
I also want to prayer journal my prayers of this verse for the world.
Now, what is your plan to develop this as a habit? Please share it with us and add a comment at the end of any blog post.

2 Chronicles 7:14 World Prayer Introduction

THREE AGREEMENTS:
As Christians, we may differ in the expression, observance, and practice of some of our beliefs. However, there are two that we can all agree on:
1 Jesus Christ is our Savior, who died so we don't have to, to forgive our sins, and give us eternal life.
2 The Holy Bible is true and is the Word of God.
Let's be honest. Those two facets are the most important things for us to focus on and is how we agree. The rest of the difference between us really doesn't matter if we simplify things as much as possible.
However, I bet there is another facet we can agree on and that is (3) our world needs prayer. We have three facets we agree on and can stand together regarding, therefore, and I hope we can and will starting in this moment.
Can we set aside our differences and focus on praying together in Jesus Christ's name for our world?
One prayer can make a difference and change the world. Can you imagine what would happen if every single Christian in the world prayed without ceasing or stopping 2 Chronicles 7:14 in Jesus Christ's name? How much would the world be changed then?
That is the purpose of 2 Chronicles 7:14 World Prayer, for us to pray this verse day and night.

2 Chronicles 7:14 New King James Version (NKJV)
14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
-- New King James Version (NKJV)
