Acts 12:5 - Don't Give Up On Your Prayers

All that the scripture says is that “prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.” The words “without ceasing” here come from the Greek word “ektenes” (ek-ten-ace’). That is not the same word that is used in I Thess. 5:17 and elsewhere, where we are told to “pray without ceasing.”
