Paul’s instruction to the believers in Thessalonica was to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thess. 5:17). But between the hustle and bustle of everyday life, that can seem like a pretty tall order!


The reality is, God designed prayer to energize, not drain, us. In this message, Dr. Stanley explains that when we make prayer a priority, we reap a whole host of benefits like comfort, guidance, and confidence.


As believers, prayer is our most profitable activity.

    As a homeless teenager, I managed to come across Dr. Stanley's picture in the newspaper, regarding his rapid recovery from an operation. I remember clipping his picture and keeping it inside my pocket. Many years later, Dr. Stanley led me to the Lord via one of his many broadcasts. To think that the Lord Jesus Christ, had whispered in my ear, that he knew where I was at the time, and also provided me with a snapshot as to who would lead me to salvation. I love this guy!
  • When I was 46, I became single. I prayed and prayed for years for a partner, a companion because I couldn’t handled being alone. But I never did get one. I finally accepted being alone, now I’m 74 yrs. old. I’ve been ok all these years understanding that he’s my companion and my provider. Thank you Pastor Stanley, I will now pray without ceasing. Amen

    I used to pray a lot then I stopped for the most part. My life spun out of control pretty fast and stayed that way for a long time. Bad things were happening but I couldn't see it. I was truly blind. Long story short, I re-devoted my life to God and am back to praying a lot. We have conversations, He makes me chuckle, He makes me feel comforted, and He makes sure my mom and I have what we need. One of my favorite times of prayer is sitting by my vegetable garden after dinner praying for a bountiful harvest. God is an Awesome God!!!

    He makes everything simple. That's why I have loved listening to him for so long. Every time he says "Watch this!" it brings joy to my spirit. 😀
  • We must remember that the shortest distance between our problems and their solutions is the distance between our knees and the floor. -Charles Stanley

    I have been living in spiritual darkness, not praying correctly, and haven't been listening to God like I should be. I am going to start praying better now and more constant to grow my relationship with God. I pray that everyone will be healed soon. God bless you🕊

    Prayer has healed, comforted, and strengthened me in every area of my life. Being able to communicate with our heavenly Father is a gift and a blessing.
  • I lost my Grandma and aunt on the same day last year tomorrow. A year from now almost. I can't do this life without Jesus. I really can't. Prayer is important.
