How do we pray without ceasing?

Richard Foster says that when Paul instructs us to "pray without ceasing," he is reminding us to "seek to discover as many ways as possible to keep God constantly in mind.  This means keeping God in mind for others as well as for ourselves.  We do this by praying for our spouses and treating him or her the way we would like to be prayed for and treated; praying for and asking our pastor how we can serve him today; and praying and looking for opportunities to serve the co-worker who rubs us the wrong way.  Integrating our relationship with God into our daily tasks and relationships is a vital step as we seek to live a life of significance.
