Colossians 1:9-10 NLT So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.
I expect we’ve all noticed there are times when the enemy tries to wear us down and when I’ve been speaking to some friends recently we’ve said how there is a battle weariness that begins to creep in when one thing after another seems to come against us.
It’s at those times we need to build our faith up and like Paul says, we need to be praying for one another to have spiritual wisdom and understanding, to know God better, which is what we’re all aiming for, right?
He goes on …Colossians 1:11-12 We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father….
He knew we would all need endurance and patience and he gives us a clue when he says to be always thanking the Father, because thankfulness releases joy and the joy of the Lord is our strength as we know.
