Colossians 4:2-4
Prayer is often needed but often neglected. Far too often prayer is only an activity based on a current emergency or difficult situation. As Paul begins the conclusion of this letter we see him become more and more practical in his application for the Colossian church. He mentions the importance of prayer as a daily, continual practice for the life of the believer. If a believer prays it shows a continued faith and practice that Christ is supreme their life and practice. However, Paul moves beyond just a personal focus to prayer. He makes the request that his readers pray for him. Prayer involves an alignment of our heart with God’s heart by seeking the accomplishment of God’s purposes. Today we can show that Christ is supreme in our lives through our personal practice of consistent prayer. Ask God to enable His message of salvation through Jesus to be spread through His people being a witness for Him. I am praying for you. Who can you pray for?
