Colossians 4 - Praying God's Word

Please read Colossians 4.

Meditate on verse 2.

Devote yourselves to prayer,

keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving.

How is your prayer life? Would you describe yourself as devoted to prayer? Are you alert in prayer? Do you pray with an attitude of thanksgiving? Do you desire to be an Epaphras, a bondslave of Jesus Christ, who labors earnestly in prayer so those you pray for “may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God” (Colossians 4:12)?

Prayer is a big deal! You will not completely understand its impact on eternity until you get to heaven. In the meantime, do not grow weary and lose heart in praying. The ones you are praying for need to be mature in Christ and confident in the will of God for their lives. Your prayers help accomplish that goal.

Pray Colossians 4:3-6 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, open up the door for Your Word,


so _________ and I may speak forth Your mystery, Jesus.

Please make it clear in the way we ought to speak.


May we conduct ourselves with wisdom.


Let our speech always be with grace,

 as though seasoned with salt,

 so we will know how to respond to each person.


For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
