Colossians 1:9-14 (NLT)
Prayer
May God our Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ give you His grace and peace? I always pray for you, and
I give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to fill you with His
love for all His people. I continue praying for you ever since I heard about
you. I ask God to give you a complete understanding of what He wants you to do
in your lives, and I ask Him to make you all wise with spiritual wisdom. Then
the way you live your lives will honour and please the Lord, and you will
continually do good, kind things for others. All the while, you will learn to
know God better and better.
I also pray that you
will be strengthened with His glorious power so that you will have all the
patience and endurance you need to fulfill His plans for your lives. May you be
filled with joy, always thanking the Father, who has enabled you to share the
inheritance that belongs to God’s holy people, who live in the light? He has
rescued you from the one who rules in the kingdom of darkness, and He has
brought you into the Kingdom of His dear Son. The Son of God was pierced for
our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities, the punishment that
brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed in the name of
the Lord Jesus Christ. We praise and give God all the praise and thanksgiving
for purchasing our freedom with Jesus’ blood; He has forgiven us all our sins.
Amen
