If you want practice praying with ceasing for a day, just start praying for a friend’s fourteen year old grandson who is in the midst of fourteen hour brain surgery. You just don’t’ stop praying.
Is there such a thing as practicing prayer? Practice implies getting better and maybe even becoming an expert. But prayer isn’t that way. We don’t get better, and I doubt that anyone can be considered an expert in prayer. We just keep praying and then praying some more until it feels like we are praying without ceasing. Prayer is God lead, not human directed. It is a path to humility.
