Take a moment to read Colossians 1:11-14 before reading the devotional below.
Today’s post will be a prayer that follows the themes that Paul writes in these verses. As I read the passage, my heart stirred and I felt myself praying for all of you. May it bless and encourage you!
A prayer for you:
God I pray for each one reading this today, that you would strengthen them and encourage them. I pray that no matter what obstacles they face, you would fill them with your patience and strengthen them for their journey. I pray that you would remind us of all the things we have to be thankful for, and that through gratitude we would find new measures of joy. Thank you for the spiritual and eternal inheritance you have for us — may we accept your daily provision as all that we need. Thank you for rescuing us from the darkness of this world and for setting us free. Today we ask for your forgiveness. Help us to live within your light.
Amen.
