Charles Spurgeon Commentary 1 Thessalonians 5:17

"pray without ceasing;" — 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (ASV)

Pray without ceasing.

Praise and prayer are fit companions. You will soon stop rejoicing if you stop praying. Through brief prayers, continue praying even while at your books. You will not disturb your work by continually engaging in supplication and prayer. Such provision hinders no one's journey.

— 19.

Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit.

Do not despise his operations, either in yourselves or in your brethren. Do not quench him by neglect, much less by open opposition.
