What does it mean to be prayerful?

Pray without ceasing. Throughout the day, at all times. Pray for my wisdom. Pray for my protection. Pray for my presence. Pray. Always. This is where all power lies. Not in words or talent. But in prayer. It is the difference between trying to live on a small, meager, fixed income…or on my vast and endless riches, all of which are available to you. But you must humble yourself to ask. This is why humility is so vital. Without it, all you are left with is your own meager resources. Adequate to survive, but that is all. To be prayerful is to be humble. You had to be humbled to become more prayerful. This is the Lord.
