Prayer for Those In Service To God’s Work

 Colossians 1:9-12   “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; 10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; 12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.”

Why would the Apostle Paul write this?  Apostle Paul is encouraging the church planter, and followers of Jesus, that prayer is the key ingredient to living out our lives pleasing to the Lord.

If you want to cook something, you must first get together all the ingredients and then put them all together to insure the food tastes as it should. The same goes with our growth as a disciple of Jesus.

As we pray we are asking specifically that:

1- You be filled with the knowledge of His will.

2- That you shall be equipped with spiritual wisdom, which is insight into His purposes.

3- We pray that you shall have understanding of spiritual things. For a deep discernment in all you do, experience, and see. Discerning means: the quality of being able to grasp and comprehend what is obscure.

4- We pray that you be strengthened and invigorated with all power from God Himself.

The objective of this prayer is:

That you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord.

So that a follower of God displays admirable character, moral courage, and personal integrity.

 With a heart to fully please Him in all things.

 And that we all bear fruit in every good work.

 Plus, consistently growing in the knowledge of God.

 As all who walk this journey of service to God these objectives help us to attain every kind of endurance and patience with joy.

As we pray for one another, we always give our Lord and King all the thanks and glory! With hearts full of praise for His Love and glorious works He has done and will continue to do.
