How Citizens of Heaven Pray

Colossians 1:9-14
Paul thanks God for people he’s never met. Paul’s gratitude to God becomes a prayer for the church: “I always thank God when I remember you and I pray that your life is pleasing to Him by (1) bearing fruit in every good work, (2) growing in the knowledge of God, (3) being strengthened with all His power, and (4) joyfully giving thanks to the Father.” Paul prays regularly. Paul prays gratefully. Paul prays for others. If you’ve ever wondered how to pray for people you’ve never met or what to pray for when you don’t know what to pray, this passage gives insight for life.
