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; — Colossians 1:9

Paul wrote these words to the Christians in Colossae, but he had never been there. Even though he didn’t know the Colossians “in person,” he served them well. He prayed for them to learn more about God and what he wants for them. What a good plan! Let’s find a mission church (in the city, abroad, or a dangerous place) and start praying for that congregation every day, asking God to help them know him and his will better.

Prayer

God, you are holy and all-powerful. Please help my church family understand and appreciate you, your nature, character, and grace, more. Also, please bless (add the name of the mission church you want to pray for) with growth, health, and most of all, knowledge of you. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
