Col 4:2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
- To devote yourself to something means you give yourself entirely and continuously to it.
- Some believers find it hard to do this in prayer - sometimes forgetting that even Jesus 'devoted' Himself to prayer.
- It is not optional: the Lord commands us to do it.
- It is very important:
- Prayer is not closing our eyes and not seeing the dangers around us. Prayer is the way we see the dangers around and in us.
- Prayer is not closing our eyes to the things God has given us, but it is the means to enjoy the Giver of the things we have received and be truly thankful.
Our Father in Heaven, we want to praise and thank you for a way to enjoy our relationship with you. We want to be watchful over the dangers in our own hearts by confessing to you all that we have done that is wrong in your sight. (Put your own confession here). We are thankful that you give us the full assurance that we are completely forgiven in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
