What does it mean to pray continually? It does not mean to spend all day repeating long sentences, disconnected from the reality around you. To pray continually means: Being in constant communication with God, thinking about Him permanently. Asking the Holy Spirit of God, for help and wisdom, before starting any work and in everything you do. Asking the Lord to guide you in all your ways, consulting Him every problem and decision.
That is the constant prayer that gives you the power to live, that God has promised you. That way, you avoid the temptation to make decisions without consulting God and get the power that strengthens, encourages, protects you from the enemy and allows you to stand before the Lord in victory, because he fights alongside you in all your battles.
To pray continually gives you the power to live in victory, because it fills you with the Holy Spirit of God and thus fills you with His love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
If you want to have the power to live the Lord has promised, you need to learn to consult everything with Him. His power is in your obedience.
