Prayer Is Breathing For My Soul
(Ps105:4; Col4:2)

God is the Ancient of Days (Da7:9).
In every moment, every time He is always and
He lets those who wait on Him always live before Him eternally (Hos12:6).
 
Faith is believing in God, the word of God are eternal and
The life of this faith is, in order to stand before the Son of Man when He returns, always looking to
the Lord and being watchful and praying (Col4:2).
 
All living organisms retain homeostasis, which is the property of maintaining
Constant internal conditions despite changes in external conditions, a state of balance.
Examples include blood pressure, body temperature, fluid balance, blood clotting etc
As we cannot survive without homeostasis, and every disease involves a disruption of it.
 
The Bible speaks of God the Ancient of Days:
God—spirit—transcendent—always;
Man—flesh—limited—impossible to be always.
Since Adam, the spirit with flesh, disobeyed the commandment regarding the forbidden fruit (Ge3:6),
All men became destined for hell (Mt25:41).
 
While the Israelites bursted into praising God after being delivered from their slavery (Ex15:1), and
Although the LORD made the sun-scorched land like a well-watered garden and

Guided them always, all who grumbled perished in the wilderness (Is58:11).
 
The covenant—the eyes of Jehovah—continually—on the land of Canaan (Dt11:12);
The temple—the Name and the eyes of Jehovah—always be there (2Ch7:16)
            The sacrifices—the lamps—keep burning—if out—death (Ex27:20-21, 30:7; Neh10:33);
The law—as written—if not do accordingly—curse (Gal3:10).
 
The word most frequently used by David, who wrote most of the Psalms, was "always" as in:
"My sin is always before me” (Ps51:3), “His love endures forever” (Ps118:1),
“My eyes are ever on the LORD” (Ps25:15), “Seek His face always” (1Ch16:11; Ps105:4) etc.
 
Daniel, knowing that praying was forbidden with the penalty of being thrown into the lions’ den,
Prayed as was his custom since early days and was consequently thrown into the lions’ den.
However, His God whom he served continually rescued him (Da6:10-22).
 
According to the prophecy, the Ancient of Days came, that is, Yeshua (Da7:22), and
He said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days,” because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body (Jn2:19-21):
Jehovah—animals/ offering—continually—sacrifice—not eternally effective;
Yeshua—in the beginning—the Word—the God who is always/ the Ancient of Days—flesh/ the Son—the Son of Man (Jn1:1-2, 14; He10:1-5)—His body—to give as an eternal sacrifice once for all.
 
During His public life, He rejoiced always because
He was constantly with Him who sent Him (Pr8:30; Jn8:29).
To the disciples who stood by Him in His trials
He promised that they would sit on thrones with Him when His kingdom comes (Lk22:28-30), and
To stand before the Son of Man then
He commanded them to be always on the watch and pray (Lk21:33-36).
 
After going out as usual to the Mount of Olives to pray (Lk22:39),
Yeshua died on a cross, but as He died He said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1)    Gave His body as an eternal offering to the Father (He10:1-5);
2)    Judged the devil the separator (Ge2:17, 3:4-6); and
3)    His death—paid the price of sin for all mankind,
His blood—souls made holy—made perfect forever—the living spirit (He10:14).
 
After He resurrected and ascended to heaven,
He always intercedes for saints (He7:25; 1Jn1:9, 2:1).
The Holy Spirit, another advocate,
Comes inside the souls of believers to be with them forever (Mt28:20; Jn14:16).
Christians are those who always rejoice, give thanks and praise (Eph5:20; Php4:4).
Following Christ’s command to continue earnestly in prayer (Mt26:41; 1Co9:21; Col4:2),
Just as the living live by breathing every moment,
I cling to prayer to keep my soul alive.
 
O Lord,
Like breathing unconsciously,
Let us follow a habit of praying every moment, every minute, every second…
With our minds and with our spirit (1Co14:15)! Amen.
