Colossians4:2
Continue in prayer. That is, do not neglect it; observe it at all stated times; maintain the spirit of prayer, and embrace all proper occasions to engage in it. Comp. Lk 18:1; Eph 6:18; 1Thes 5:17.
And watch in the same with thanksgiving. Watch for favourable opportunities; watch that your mind may be in a right frame when you pray; and watch, that when your mind is in a right frame you may not neglect to pray. Eph 6:1; Eph 6:8; Php 4:6.
