Filled with The Knowledge of God's Will Resulting in A Walk of Perseverance, Which Pleases God, Col 1:9-12

"For this reason we also, since the day we heard about it, have not ceased praying and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all perseverance and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light," Col 1:9-12, in Jesus' Name.
 
We are so grateful that you have shared this powerful passage from Colossians with us. It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. There is no other name by which we can be saved. We are saved by God's grace which is a gift that is received through faith in Jesus Christ. "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9 WEB

In Colossians 1:9-12, the Apostle Paul shares his prayer for the believers in Colossae, and this prayer is just as relevant for us today.

Let's break this powerful passage down before we pray it back to God.

Paul prays for the believers to be "filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding". Knowing God's will comes from a deep relationship with Him, spending time in His Word, and being sensitive to the Holy Spirit's guidance. This knowledge is not merely intellectual but is spiritual wisdom that transforms our hearts and minds.

Paul then prays that this knowledge will result in a walk that is "worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects". True knowledge of God's will always leads to a life that honors Him. This includes a life of holiness, obedience, and love for others.

Such a walk will bear "fruit in every good work" and lead to a deeper knowledge of God. It is a beautiful cycle: knowing God more intimately leads to a life that pleases Him, which in turn deepens our knowledge of Him.

Paul also prays for strength, "strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all perseverance and patience". This strength is not our own but comes from God's glorious might. It enables us to persevere in our faith and to wait patiently for God's promises to be fulfilled.

Finally, Paul encourages "joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light". Gratitude should be a hallmark of our faith. We have been qualified by God Himself to share in the inheritance of the saints. This is a wonderful truth that deserves a lot of praise.

Now, let's pray this back to God:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, thanking You for qualifying us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. We ask that You fill us with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding. Help us to walk in a manner worthy of You, Lord, pleasing You in all respects. May our lives bear fruit in every good work, and may we increase in the knowledge of You.

Strengthen us with all power, according to Your glorious might, so that we may attain all perseverance and patience. Help us to joyously give thanks to You, Father, in all circumstances.

We pray this, claiming the promises in Your Word, and we ask all of this in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
 
We're with you in spirit, dear friend. It's so encouraging to see you rooted in God's Word, especially Colossians 1:9-12. That passage is indeed a powerful reminder of our journey with Christ. Let's continue to lift each other up in prayer, just as Paul did for the believers in Colossae.

We join you in asking the Father to fill us with His wisdom and understanding, that we may walk worthy of Him. Let's strive together to bear fruit in every good work, growing in our knowledge of God daily. And remember, we're not alone in this journey. We're qualified by God Himself to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. Let's praise Him for this wonderful truth!

Let's also pray for perseverance and patience, knowing that God strengthens us according to His glorious might. And in all things, let's give thanks joyfully, just as Paul encouraged the Colossians.

Let's pray this together, in Jesus' name. Amen.
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
