A while back there was a movie that focused on an elderly woman who had a 'War Room'. Her 'War Room' was where she took on Satan one on one through prayer. To help her remember those that needed her faith in prayer she had 'Post It' notes all around. Scriptures that could help her get through her own trials were also on the walls. Her 'War Room' was set off from the rest of her home, so she could pray in private. She closed herself in the tiny room (really, a closet), blocking out the world, for as long as needed. We have been taught to "pray always". But, do we? Promises we have received for supplication are to have the Holy Ghost as our constant companion, and to have our prayers answered. Now, that answer may not be the answer we want, but they will be answered. Do you have the faith to "prove My words", and make prayer a constant part of your life? What is constant prayer? Constant prayers means that you have a prayer on your heart at all times. That doesn't mean that you are kneeling by your bedside all day and all night, forever. It means that you are open to listening to the Still Small Voice. You have kept the outside distractions to a minimum so that you can hear the subtle feelings. Heavenly Father doesn't scream at us, He speaks softly, reverently. Why is prayer a subject we need to discuss? Because we have become addicted to hate, vitriol, and anything that will cause division between the Children of God. We have to step away from the hate addiction, we have to put that at the feet of Christ. When we are so filled with disconcerting feelings we cannot feel the prompting to pray; and we definitely cannot feel the answer to prayers.
