Wrestling In Prayer

Colossians 4:12


Epaphras . . . is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured.

How do we wrestle in prayer? When we cry out to God with tears? When we pray so earnestly and honestly that we weep for those we are praying for? When we spend nights in deep pain in grief for the sorrows we bear for those we care for? 

Please, dear Father, give us the words to give to our dear ones to encourage them to become mature in their psyches and minds and to be united as families. Father, You know how fractured and broken we are, when we agree on almost nothing. Help!

Even so come, Lord Jesus!
