7 conditions for authentic prayer: Complete, humble, continual, devout, vigilant, insistent, and loving.

Forms of continual prayer:

1. One who does not neglect the times they should be praying – prays always.
2. Pray constantly means to pray continuously. Everything we do comes from desire. If we desire what is good, namely God’s will, then our works can become a form of prayer.
3. Giving of Alms. A cause of continual prayer. For the person who receives the alms, prays for you, even when you are asleep.
