Carry on prayer on every occasion.—Eph. 6:18.

 

How grateful we should be that Jehovah used his holy spirit to reveal the truth to us and to enable us to exercise faith in the good news! (Luke 10:21) We should never cease thanking Jehovah for drawing us to himself through his Son, “the Chief Agent and Perfecter of our faith.” (Heb. 12:2) To show our appreciation for such undeserved kindness, we should keep strengthening our faith through prayer and study of God’s Word. (1 Pet. 2:2) We should keep exercising our faith in Jehovah’s promises. We must do this in ways that are clearly evident to others. For example, we keep on preaching about God’s Kingdom and sharing in the work of making disciples. We also keep working “what is good toward all, but especially toward those related to us in the faith.” (Gal. 6:10) And we work hard to “strip off the old personality with its practices.”—Col. 3:5, 8-10. w16.10 4:11, 12

Today's text is a loving reminder to go to Jehovah in prayer about all matters. Our sincere prayers endear us to him. By regularly talking to Jehovah, he becomes real to us. When we have the habit of turning to Jehovah "on every occasion" we gain true intimacy with him. 

 

This text is not just about praying for ourselves. We also need to pray for our brothers and sisters, the GB, as well as the success of the preaching work in this time of the end.
