Unceasing

That’s a heavy command.  How on earth do I pray unceasingly? Do I need to be on my knees, hands together 24/7?  I mean. heck.  Can anyone do that?

I started really thinking about it. I have to work.  I have to eat.  I have to sleep.  What can I do to pray unceasingly?  Is this one of those things people say isn’t literal.  Does it mean, if I try to pray unceasingly, I’ll likely pray more than I would otherwise?  I don’t think that could be it. I mean, if I believe that, then I’d almost have to believe that when Jesus says to love my enemy, he meant that, if I tried to, I’d love my enemy more most of the time, but not always, and I do not believe that Jesus was preaching a ‘good enough’ message.
So, I have some ideas.  One having to do with prayer of the heart, versus the mouth.  Another with community.  And, while I’m not necessarily praying, you could be… and so on.
I want to write about both of those, but first, I want to hear your thoughts on what I’ve said.
How do you pray unceasingly?  How do you interpret the Bible?
