Pray Without Ceasing
Perhaps the best way to illustrate the idea of ceaseless prayer is to compare it to breathing. Inhaling and exhaling is so natural for us that it often seems totally involuntary; it's actually harder to hold your breath than it is to breathe. The same should be true of prayer for the Christian. Prayer is like breathing for us. The natural thing for us to do is commune with God. When we don't pray, we're holding our breath spiritually - fighting against the very existence and presence of God in our lives. Prayer should flow naturally and continually from our hearts...
I think of prayer as living in continual God-consciousness, in which everything we see and experience becomes a kind of prayer, lived in deep awareness of and surrender to our heavenly Father. Whatever happens, there is a Godward response. To obey this exhortation means that when we are tempted, we bring the temptation before God and ask for His help. When we experience something good and beautiful, we immediately thank the Lord for it. When we see evil around us, we ask God to make it right and to allow us to help remedy the evil, if such involvement is according to His will. When we meet people who do not know Christ, we pray for God to draw them to Himself and to use us as faithful witnesses. When we encounter trouble, we turn to God as our Deliverer...
All your thoughts, deeds, and circumstances become an opportunity to commune with your heavenly Father
John MacArthur

My question is that my faith is somewhat weak at this point in my life and I wanted to ask what would be your justification and your thoughts, knowledge, whatever piece of mind you’ll be able to share about the view that there is “one” way to heaven (or some form of afterlife) -in the Christian faith it would be the acceptance and recognition of Jesus Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. How do you tell someone that if they don’t accept a certain belief they will die for it? How is this possible if they don’t believe to it in the first place. That’s one of the issues/doubts I’ve developed over time. I was always amazed at how those that claim to be all high and holy (I’m not implying you) -I’ve met some people that claim to be Christian but are unforgiving of the sinner because they associate sin with the sinner him/herself. I suppose life has helped contribute to my process of doubting, wondering if it’s merely something you focus on, and believe that you internalize and make real. That there’s power in ourselves and we don’t give ourselves the credit for, and when we do -we’re called selfish, conceited, and foolish. And finally, if you could I would appreciate it if you could pray for me.
Finally, although I am in this process of doubting faith, I’m still happy and content with my life. So what I’m write is of a curious nature, I do not mean to offend or attack your beliefs or your stance. I hope you can provide some insight and spiritual truth that can perhaps aid me or others in the future. Thanks for reading and for your time.
