Praying with Paul

Colossians 3:18-4:1



Dear Father,
May Christian wives and husbands relate to each other as is fitting in the Lord, with subjection and kindness.
May children obey their parents and may parents not provoke the children.
May we work at our jobs in ways which will put honoring you above trying to please someone.
Whatever our tasks, help us to work heartily, serving you.
Help us all to treat each other fairly in all our relationships.
In the name of Jesus I ask. Amen.

Colossians 3:15-17



Dear Father,
Let Christ's peace rule in our hearts. Let us be at peace in his one body. Fill our hearts and mouths with overflowing thanksgiving.
Let Christ's word dwell in us richly. Let us teach and admonish each other in all wisdom.
Let us impart grace through the songs flowing from thankful hearts.
May we do everything, whatever it is, in the name of our Lord Jesus.
We give thanks to you, our God and Father, through his name. Amen.

Colossians 3:12-14



Dear Father,
Grant that we may clothe ourselves with Christ, for he is a garment of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness and patience, forbearance and forgiveness.
Above all, clothe us with his love, which will bind us together in perfect harmony.
In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Colossians 3:5-10




Dear Father,
Let me live in the light of your truth about myself - that my old nature has been put off, with its baggage of practices, and that I have put on a new nature, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.
Help us to make no distinctions regarding origins, heredity, or traditions, but to see Christ in all believers.
Help us to let Christ be in us, to transform and renew every fiber of our being and of our...

 

Colossians 3:5-17



Dear Father,
Help me put to death certain things in my life that are earthly - inward evils ranging from impurity to covetousness.
Most of all, may I be rid of covetousness, wanting the applause and possessions of this world, which is really idolatry.
May I extinguish all outward evil ranging from anger to slander and foul talk.
Keep me from everything that is false. Don't let a lie come to my mind or my lips.
In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Colossians 3:3-4



Dear Father,
My God, I know that I have died and that my life is hid with Christ. He holds the outcome of my life wholly in his hands; he is my life.
Grant that I may wait patiently yet expectantly, knowing that when he appears, I will also appear with him in glory.
Father, I thank you for this blessed hope. Let the joy of it fill my life every day as I sojourn here on this earth.
Let me put the things of this world in perspective through the victory...

 

Colossians 2:4-7



Dear Father, my rock,
Help me to think clearly with discernment. Keep me from being taken in by the beguiling speech of deceivers.
Give me great joy in manifesting good order in my conduct and being absolutely firm in my faith.
As I received Christ Jesus as the Lord, grant that I may live in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith.
Grant that I may do this with great praise and thanksgiving!
All praise, thanksgiving, honor, and glory...

 

Colossians 2:20-3:2



Dear Father,
Help me to realize that I have died and have been resurrected with Christ. Break the attachments of my old life and its bondage.
Don't let me live as if life were a matter of keeping regulations - don't touch, don't taste, don't handle - but let me live out of a deep sense of love and loyalty to my Savior.
Don't let me grasp for that which has merely an appearance of wisdom and which might make a show of religiosity but not really do...

 

Colossians 2:13-19



Dear Father,
Thank you for redeeming us. You took us out of deadness and gave us life. You made us alive together with Christ. You cancelled the debts that we owed you because of our sinfulness.
You disarmed the powers that work against us, triumphing over them in Christ for our sake.
How gracious and wonderful you are. To you we owe eternal praise.
Help us to withstand anyone who might seek to disqualify us, seeking to bind us to any principle of...

 

Colossians 2:10-12



Dear Father,
Thank you, Father, that we have been joined with Christ in his life, death, and resurrection.
Make us realize that we put off the body of flesh in his circumcision, were buried with him in his baptism, and were raised with him in his resurrection.
Give us the faith to see your hand at work in all this and to see ourselves in what happened to him.
Help us to hold fast to Christ, who is our head, in whose name I pray. Amen.
