Words of Encouragement February - 15 - 2004
In a world where we can feel so isolated and alone at times, it is so important for us to know that someone is praying for us and for our spiritual needs. How can we lead a life worthy of the Lord Jesus Christ today? Consider the directions given in these verses.
The reading is from Colossians 1:9-10.
9 And so, from the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
10 to lead a life worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.
Let us pray.
Oh precious and divine Father, today we pray for the other believers who come before you and seek to live for you. Even though we live all over the world and have all sorts of needs, we all know that our deepest need is to know and live your will and to be confident that we are known and loved by you. Please fill all of us with the knowledge of your will through Spirit-led wisdom and understanding. We want to know you, honor you, serve you, and ultimately see you face to face.
In the name Jesus, we pray.
Amen.
