“FAITHFUL PRAYING!”
Colossians 1:9
For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.

I am ashamed to admit that I have often promised to pray for someone—even had the best intentions to do so—but became busy and forgot my promise. Because of this I have made a separate file for visits and prayer requests. That being said, what kind of prayers should we offer up? 

Paul had heard of the faith of the church in Colossae and sent this letter as an encouragement to their faith in the face of persecution. In today’s Scripture Paul says he is praying for God to fill them with the knowledge of His will through all wisdom and understanding.

In the next few verses Paul becomes very specific in what he anticipates as the result of his prayer. Let me list four of them for you:
1. Bear fruit in every good work.
2. Grow in the knowledge of God.
3. Be strengthened with God’s power for endurance and patience.
4. Joyfully give thanks to the Lord.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
