Prayer...ish

So we had a "Day of Prayer" at Grace University where classes (and sleep) were voluntarily called off to pray. Paul instructs to lead a life of ceaseless prayer.

Problem: if everyday were that sort of a "Day of Prayer", we'd be narcoleptic monks.

Am I saying the day of prayer is bad? No way, Jose. But I think we need to have a working definition of prayer that may help us measure our prayer life against Scripture's demands. If a god demands a sleepless shut-in, (s)he's going to have to look for someone else.

How can we lead a life of ceaseless prayer?

What do you think?
