The ability we have to pray is so beautiful, wonderful and awesome.  Communing with God on a moment by moment basis is a rich treasure that one does not want to miss out on.  Jesus, we know from Mark 1:35 and in other records, spent plenty of time in prayer  Like Jesus, we too are exhorted to take the necessary time to "live in a  spirit of prayer."
George Mueller, an awesome believer and a man who received many answers to prayer, wrote the following:
 
"I live in the spirit of prayer; I pray as I walk, when I lie down, and when I rise. And the answers are always coming. Tens of thousands of times my prayers have been answered. When once I am persuaded a thing is right, I go on praying for it until the end comes.  I never give up! The great fault of the children of God is that they do not continue in prayer; they do not go on praying; they do not persevere. If they desire anything for God’s glory, they should pray until they get it."  George Mueller
