Jehovah is the name of the LORD which emphasizes that God Almighty has no beginning or end. He always has been and He always will be LORD God Almighty. There simply is none greater. When we put the two words together, we are praising the LORD with all our being, Say hallelujah 7 times today when you feel good or something good happens
Unceasing Prayer 1 Thessalonians 5:17 pray without ceasing Never stop praying Pray all the time Be persistent in prayer Pray continually Always keep on praying Pray constantly This seems like an impossible command so we will come back to it. Lets take a look at prayer in general. Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 9:38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” What do I have to do-what do I get to do- Matthew 21:22 And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” Prayer and faith Mark 11:25 “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. Prayer and forgiveness Luke (NKJV) 18 Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, 2 saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. 3 Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ 4 And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, 5 yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’” Persistent prayer Luke 21:36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” Urgent prayer Acts 2:42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. When you walk with God you have an ongoing conversation (unceasing prayer) with God. You are either praising Him Or you are asking of Him You are enquiring of Him You are venting to Him Or you are listening to Him Prayer is speaking and listening Pray without ceasing Fellowship with God Continual praise Unceasing prayer Perpetual word
