Online with God

I’ve been giving some thought to the fact that my brain never seems to turn off.  I’m always thinking.  If I try not to think, I’m only thinking that I’m not thinking! I wonder if God made our brains so that they never turn off so that we could truly “pray without ceasing,” as 1 Thessalonians 5:17 instructs us. Or at least center our thoughts on God throughout the day--not just at the beginning and end of each day.  If that is true, I realize a lot of my brain energy goes to non-essentials.  God made me with the potential to fellowship with Him at any time.  But do I take advantage of that ability?  Not as often as I could or should.
