Below is an excerpt taken from the book "The Name of Jesus" by Irenee Hausherr
"Continual prayer means keeping the soul attentive to God with great reverence and love, constantly hoping in him. It means entrusting ourselves to him in everything that happens, whether in things we do or in events that occur."
******
I wait for the LORD,
my soul doth wait,
and in his word do I hope.
Psa 130:5
