Pray the Word photo2 Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. 3 Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about his mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains. 4 Pray that I will proclaim this message as clearly as I should.

Colossians 4:2-4 New Living Translation

2Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. 4Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should.

Colossians 4:2-4 New International Version

PRAYER:

Lord, we thank You for the clear instructions that you give us through the Apostle Paul. Help us to cultivate a habit of prayerfulness as individuals and as a church family. Cause us to grow to truly understand this crucial aspect of our lives IN CHRIST; to make it a reality in our every day lives and to further your kingdom work of Christ by supporting others in prayer.

With thankful hearts we pray in Christ’s name, AMEN.
