Colossians 4:2-6

Dear Father, who answers our prayers,

Help me to be steadfast in my praying to you, even to stay awake that I may pray!

Fill my life with thanksgiving to you.

O God, I pray for all your servants everywhere that you may open a door for us to proclaim your Word, to declare the now-public secret - Christ crucified, glorified, and coming - and to make the message clear, as we ought to speak.

In the name of Jesus I ask you to fill our lives with your holy life and to...

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 relationships.

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 that Christ...
