Ephesians 6:10-20; Ps 144; Luke 13:31-35

Pray all the time

The Lord gathers us, his holy people ‘as a hen gathers her brood under her wings’. We are ‘a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people set apart’. So that we may honour our vocation, we are urged to ‘pray all the time, asking for what [we] need, praying in the Spirit on every possible occasion’. Ask for God’s grace to ‘proclaim the Gospel as boldly as we ought to’.
