For this reason also, since the day we heard this, we haven’t stopped praying for you. We are asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, so that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and 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, joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the saints’ inheritance in the light.
Colossians 1:9-12
Father God, I pray today that You would fill me with the knowledge of Your will that I might be able to comprehend the spiritual reason why I am going through what I will go through this day. It is my desire to walk in a manner that not only pleases You but also reflects the transformation that is mine because of the finished work of Jesus Christ in my heart. I desire to bear fruit for the Kingdom as I grow in my personal relationship with You. I want to lead others into a deeper walk with You, with us mutually strengthening and encouraging one another as we endure with patience the trials and tribulations that come our way. Therefore, I pray that You would have Your way within my heart and mind. Control my thoughts and actions. Show me where I am going astray and usher back into Your presence. I give myself away so You can use me to share with others the powerful work of the Holy Spirit in our midst. Show me that I might show others, pointing them to You, for I know that You are even now at work behind the scenes bringing glory to Yourself. I lift Your Name on high! Be exalted my King! Amen!
