We have not ceased to pray for you.

Colossians 1:9-14, And so, from the day we heard, 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, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Paul had never met these believers, he had only heard of their love in the Spirit and he gave us all this wonderful prayer. Why not pray for these things as well? As we are filled with the knowledge of His will we are to put feet to it, to walk as Jesus walked. And He will produce good fruit and strengthen us with His amazing power. And why not take a moment to offer this prayer for someone else?

We give thank for transferring us from the domain of darkness; strengthen us to walk in Your steps today, O Lord!
