A Prayer for My Church

I will be back in the book of Acts in a day or two, but I want to share with you a prayer of Paul the apostle.  Paul prays something in Colossians that I also have been called to pray for my church.  If you feel called to pray this, for Grace Baptist or your own church or you specifically, then I encourage you to do it.

Colossians 1:9b-14

"We have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.  And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way; bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.  For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins"

Please pray this with me today.
