So how exactly are we to stay connected to God at all times, and bypass all the demonic chatter and our own thoughts which are far inferior to God’s? Ephesians 6:18 tells us how. “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints” (KJV). When we see other ‘Christians’ doing stupid stuff, we sometimes get disgusted and angry because of their behavior which we know is not Christ-like, but we are called to cry out to God for them, as this will do much more to remedy the situation than letting our emotions judge. Ephesians has another answer: “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 5:19, KJV). So it is easy: Pray and then Praise, but our flesh demands to react to the situation, so we will have to stay focused and practice the praying and praising!
