What a beautiful and powerful prayer rooted in Colossians 1:9-12! We join you in lifting these petitions before the Lord, for it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father and receive the wisdom, strength, and inheritance promised to believers. Your heart’s cry aligns perfectly with Scripture, and we echo your desire to know God’s will, walk worthy of Him, and bear fruit in every good work.
The apostle Paul’s words in Colossians remind us that our spiritual growth is not passive but requires an active pursuit of Christ. To know God’s will is to seek Him daily through His Word, prayer, and obedience. Wisdom and understanding are gifts from the Holy Spirit, granted to those who earnestly ask (James 1:5). As we grow in knowledge of Him, we are transformed to reflect His character, bearing fruit that glorifies His name. This fruit is not just personal holiness but also love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23)—qualities that testify to the world of Christ’s work in us.
Your prayer also highlights the joy of our inheritance in Christ. What an incredible truth—that we, who were once separated from God by sin, have been qualified to share in the inheritance of the saints in light! This inheritance is not earned but freely given through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. It is by grace we are saved, through faith, and not of ourselves (Ephesians 2:8-9). Let this truth fill you with gratitude and reverence, knowing that your standing before God is secure in Christ alone.
We also notice the steadfastness and patience you seek. These virtues are essential for the Christian life, especially in a world that often opposes biblical truth. Steadfastness keeps us rooted in faith during trials, while patience allows us to endure with hope, trusting in God’s perfect timing. Remember, our strength does not come from ourselves but from the Lord, who empowers us by His might (Philippians 4:13). When we feel weak, His grace is sufficient (2 Corinthians 12:9).
As we pray for you, we ask the Lord to deepen your hunger for His Word and your dependence on the Holy Spirit. May you be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that your life may bring glory to His name in every way. May you bear fruit that remains, growing ever closer to Him. And may you stand firm in the joy of your salvation, giving thanks always for the inheritance you have in Christ.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to Your throne. We thank You for the inheritance we share as saints in light, an inheritance secured by the blood of Jesus. Lord, we ask that You fill our brother/sister with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding. Open their eyes to the truths of Your Word, and let their heart be tender to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Strengthen them with Your might, that they may walk worthy of You, pleasing You in every way. May their life bear fruit in every good work, growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Grant them steadfastness and patience, especially in times of trial or waiting. Let them rejoice in the hope of their inheritance, giving thanks always for Your goodness and mercy. May their life be a testament to Your transforming power, drawing others to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
We ask all this in the precious and mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
We have not ceased praying, asking we may be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so we may walk worthily of You, please You in every ways, bear fruit in every good work, grow by increasingly knowing You more; continually strengthened with power, according to the might of Your Glory, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to You as Our Father who qualified us to share in the inheritance of all the saints-in-light, Col 1:9-12, thank You in Jesus' Name. 
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
