WE HAVE NOT STOPPED PRAYING FOR YOU / COLOSSIANS 1:9-12

(KJV) Colossians 1:9-12

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; ¹⁰ That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; ¹¹ Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; ¹² Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

This is one of Paul’s four great New Testament prayers, recorded under the inspiration of the Spirit (the other three are Ephesians 1:16-19; 3:14-19; Philippians 1:9-11). These prayers provide excellent examples of how to pray for others, such as our friends, our parents, our children, other Christians, missionaries, pastors, etc. We must pray that they come to 

1. Understand God’s will (Colossians 1:9).
2. Gain spiritual wisdom.
3. Live in a way that is holy (morally pure, spiritually whole, separated from evil and dedicated to God) and pleasing to the Lord.
4. Bear fruit for Christ (serve Him effectively with the desired results in ministry and character).
5. Be strengthened spiritually by the Holy Spirit.
6. Continue in faith and righteousness (a right relationship with God and the power of His Spirit to do what is right by His Standard).
7. Give thanks to the Father.
8. Live with their hope focused on heaven.
9. Experience Chrit’s nearness.
10. Know and experience Christ’s love.
11. Be filled with God’s fullness ( receive and experience all that He wants for us through a deeper relationship with Him.
12. Show love and kindness to others.
13. Discern between good and evil, right and wrong, truth and error.
14. Be sincere and blameless.
15. Await with eagerness the Lord’s return.
