Ephesians 6:18 (God's Word)

6:18 Pray in the Spirit in every situation. Use every kind of prayer and request there is. For the same reason be alert. Use every kind of effort and make every kind of request for all of God's people.

Philippians 4:6 (The Message)

4:6 Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns.

There's nothing we start or take on this world without a prayer, pray for them, it doesn't need to be long or short, the point is you have prayed about it. You need to commune with GOD about everything, be conscious that you and GOD are family. I have the habit of consulting my parents before something I need to do, just like that, make prayer like breathing.

B. As you embrace this GOD-life, include everything

"Include everything as you embrace this God-life,"
