As I was reading my bible (Colossians 1 to be precise) I came across an interesting list that made me think about how sincere and substantial my prayers were for others who are "Fighting the good fight": 1. Be thankful for their faith and changed lives (1:3). 2. Ask God to help them know his will (1:9). 3. Ask God to give them spiritual wisdom and understanding (1:9). 4. Ask God to help them live to honor and please him (1:10). 5. Ask God to give them more knowledge of himself (1:10). 6. Ask God to give them strength for endurance and patience (1:11). 7. Ask God to fill them with joy and thankfulness (1:11, 12). How many people in your life could be touched if you prayed in this way? Let me know if you have any more...
