Colossians 1:9 (Amplified Bible) For this reason we also, from the day we heard of it, have not ceased to pray and make [[a]special] request for you, [asking] that you may be filled with the [b]full (deep and clear) knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [[c]in comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God] and in understanding and discernment of spiritual things--
Prayer. It is one of the most effective, powerful weapons that we as believers have. Prayer is simply talking to Father God. Prayer is what invites Father God into a situation to intervene and change something or someone. When you need someone to talk to, pray. If you feel like complaining, pray instead and ask God to change you, the situation, or give you wisdom to change it or overcome it. Prayer is the way to intercede or intervene on behalf of another. If there is difficulty with another person, pray and ask God to show you how to deal with them, then pray that God also change them and give them spiritual wisdom and understanding too. In these first several verses of Colossians chapter 1, Paul didn't start off by pointing out every area that he felt they were falling short, no, he simply prayed that they would "be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness." That is one of the greatest prayers that you can pray for someone - friend or foe!
May God Bless you EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY, ABOVE ALL YOU CAN ASK OR THINK!
