Word of the Day: Colossians 4:2
"Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving;" Colossians 4:2
In this verse Paul is asking the people to devote themselves to pray boldly, fearlessly without ceasing. He also told them while praying to keep alert; stay focused on what they were praying for. Have you ever heard a person request prayer for a difficult circumstance only to forget it by the time you arrived home? With our busy lives it's easy to lose focus. Or perhaps we remembered only a small portion of the request and we are really vague and unclear in prayer. I believe there is so much to learn about prayer and I appreciate verses like this that remind me to be more persistent, consistent, clear and alert in my prayer times with the Lord.
As one of the disciples said to Jesus in Luke 11:1, "….Lord, teach us to pray…."
