Colossians 1:9-14

In this study we see the Apostle Paul praying for the Colossian church. What a great prayer. A prayer that runs counter to so much of what is falsely taught today concerning prayer.He prays that they would have knowledge, wisdom and understanding. With this spiritual intelligence, he then prays that they would live in obedience to all they know concerning God's word. And then he prays that in light of their knowing God's word and living in obedience to God's word, that they would live a life in the power of God. A power that would enable them to have patience and longsuffering with great joy.May this prayer be answered in all of our lives.

9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
