The Savior has used the word “always” in two settings: You promise always to remember Him when you partake of the sacrament. And He warns you to pray always.
I am not wise enough to know all of His purposes in giving us a covenant to always remember Him and in His warning us to pray always lest we be overcome. But I know one. It is because He knows perfectly the powerful forces that influence us and also what it means to be human.
Jesus Christ foresees perfectly the growing power of opposing forces. He knows the mistake we can so easily make. And so He offers us the covenant to always remember Him and the warning to pray always so that we will place our reliance on Him, our only safety.
His promises are sure: If you will let your heart be drawn to the Savior and to our Heavenly Father in prayer, you will always have the Spirit to be with you.
