"Rejoice always" in uninterrupted happiness in God. "Pray without ceasing," which is the fruit of "always rejoicing" in the Lord. "In everything give thanks," which is the fruit of both the former. This is Christian perfection. Further than this we cannot go, and we need not stop short of it.
. . .
Prayer may be said to be the breath of our spiritual life. One who lives cannot possibly cease breathing. So much as we really enjoy of God's presence, so much prayer and praise do we offer up "without ceasing"' else our rejoicing is but delusion.
-- John Wesley
