We do this by praying &#8220;without ceasing,&#8221; which means intentionally focusing our thoughts and desires in light of God\u2019s Presence. King David said that he always &#8220;set&#8221; the LORD before him and therefore he was made strong in times of testing (Psalm 16:8). To know the truth means choosing before the audience of God&#8217;s reality, before the holy witnesses of heaven and the sacredness that inheres in all things, as it is written: &#8220;Sanctify yourselves and be holy; for I am holy&#8221; (Lev. 11:44; 1 Pet.1:16). We know this truth as we live it &#8211; as we esteem God\u2019s greatness by regarding the sacred in our decisions. Most especially we must learn the truth of God&#8217;s comfort in Yeshua, for he promises never to leave nor forsake us (Isa. 40:10).
