[Wednesday's Devotional] - Pray Always

Pray Always Paul also maintained a close relationship with God.   For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. Colossians 1:9-13 [NIV]   Paul's prayer here is focused on those in the church, praying that they would grow in knowledge and understanding through the Spirit, bearing fruit in every good work. The sense here seems to be that, as we do good work, we grow in knowledge of God and this develops fruit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, self-control).   Father help us to pray for one another, and act that we too may grow in knowledge and bear fruit.     Guy Mowbray   Twitter Website Copyright © 2018 St. Matthew & St. Oswald's Church, All rights reserved.
