I like to call what I am talking about “The Building of a Prayer Fence” A prayer fence to protect ourselves from our worst selves.

We usually know our own particular weaknesses; the places where we have far less control than we would like. Places where we speak before we think and act before we consider what is wise or prudent. So, visualize a fence, this prayer fence that will keep in your best and keep out your worst.

But just how do you build a fence that works? By holy redundancy. Constant repetition, repeating your needs and the needs of the world ad infinitum.

Believing that if something is worth praying for once, it is worth praying for again and again. Jesus makes no bones about this holy truth. He actually tells us to set up the habit of repeated prayers. “Pray without ceasing.”

An early Greek theologian, Clement of Alexandria, put it this way, “Prayer is keeping company with God.” Let me add a word – keeping CONSTANT company with God.
