Knowledge
KNOWL'EDGE, n. nol'lej.
1. A clear and certain perception of that which exists, or of truth and fact; the perception of the connection and agreement, or disagreement and repugnancy of our ideas.
We can have no knowledge of that which does not exist. God has a perfect knowledge of all his works. Human knowledge is very limited, and is mostly gained by observation and experience.
2. Learning; illumination of mind.
Ignorance is the curse of God, knowledge the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.
3. Skill; as a knowledge of seamanship.
4. Acquaintance with any fact or person. I have no knowledge of the man or thing.
5. Cognizance; notice. Ruth 2.
6. Information; power of knowing.
7. Sexual intercourse. But it is usual to prefix carnal; as carnal knowledge.
KNOWLEDGE, for acknowledge or avow, is not used.

Pray Without Ceasing = Pray without ceasing. Instead of setting aside time to talk to God, have ongoing, continual conversations with God—not formal, not long, not complicated, just from your heart—where you are, what you're thinking, what you're seeing, and what you're encountering at that moment.
