God Hears Intercessory Prayers
Heresy that Jesus is neither
central nor supreme is undermining
the Colossian church. Paul’s
responds to these false teachings
by upholding Christ as the
Preeminent Head of the church and
speaks agst man-made regulations.
Instead Paul encourages them
to pursue a godly life befitting
those who are risen with Christ.
Lord, we will Pray For One Another:
Devote yourselves to prayer with
an Alert mind and a Thankful heart.
Don’t forget to Pray For Us too,
that God will give us many
opportunities to preach Christ…
Epaphras from your city, always
prays earnestly For U, asking God
to make you strong and perfect,
fully confident of the whole Will
of God (Col 4:2-3 & v12). Amen.
Lord, help me to be Devoted
to prayer by placing importance
on praying. For it carries promise
of an answer when it is offered
in faith according to God’s Will.
Prompt me Lord to be alert,
watchful and intent in prayer;
offered not a last resort but as our
first line of defense to challenges.
Remind me to always be Thankful
in prayer for out of gratitude,
comes love, and from love comes
the obedience to do Your will.
And when we ask according to
Your will, you hear us and we can
have what we ask of You. Amen.
Lord, help me to be a reliable
intercessor in moments of need.
Sensitize me to the impressions
and burdens that You give me.
I don’t need to understand why;
I need only to know when You
want me to pray. And grant me
the compassion so that I will
respond with zeal to pray. Amen.
Lord, help us to truly realise that
prayer is the most important work
and that it’s worth our time & effort.
Grant us the strength of heart and
perseverance that Epaphras had,
to pray earnestly for our children
and fellow Christians that they will
become mature believers. Make us
strong and complete and help us to
live fully confident of Yr Will. Amen.
