"We have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints of Light.”
Colossians 1:9b-12
Paul’s prayer will never make it on a throw pillow, or T-shirt. It can’t be squeezed onto a bracelet or a bumper sticker. It won’t be found on the laundry list of most prayer meetings, because it doesn’t ask for health or wealth. Pray it anyway.
Planting a seed in the lives of others spurred Paul to pray for the fruit of love to continue to grow in their hearts. Follow his lead.
NOTE TO SELF: Talking about the darkness falls short of thanking God for the brightness of The Light.
TALK LESS! PRAY MORE!
