In one of his New Testament letters, the Apostle Paul writes that he never stops praying for God\u2019s people. He prays that God\u2019s people might be filled with a knowledge of God\u2019s will for their lives and live lives which bear fruit in every good work as they grow in their knowledge of Him.
When we pray what do we ask God for others? If we echoed this prayer taken from the first chapter of the Book of Colossians, and remembered others in that way, what might happen? Not only would we all know more of God\u2019s will for us, but it would transform our lives, the lives of others and ourcommunity as we put the work of God into practice in our local area.
Think of someone who you can bring to God in prayer this week and make Paul\u2019s prayer for the early church your prayer for others. Douglas<\/p>\n\n\n\n
