Colossians 1: 9-10
We ask God to give you a complete understanding of what He wants to do in your lives, and we ask Him to make you wise with spiritual wisdom. Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and you will continually do good, kind things for others. All the while you will learn to know God better and better.
O my Father, please give me, and all of Your children, a complete understanding of what You want us to do. Grant us Your spiritual wisdom to see and discern how to live our lives to bring You pleasure and honor.
O Father, what good, kind things am I doing for others? Lead me every day to do something for someone in Your Name, and not let the days slide by, wasted.
Father, restore the years the locusts of idleness and laziness have eaten up, and raise me up to be active in Your work, and not sedentary in my own selfishness and self-centeredness. Teach me to know You better and better, Father, that Your intimacy with me will form in me the character of Your dear Son, my Lord, my Savior, my Rescuer, my King, my best Friend.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
