Pray For One Another

"For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.  And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of The Lord and may please Him in every way; bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,"  Colossians 1:9-10 (NIV)

In his letter to the believers in Colosse, the Apostle Paul said that he and the believers with him prayed for them daily and asked God to bless them with the knowledge of His will.  They prayed for them to receive the wisdom and understanding that they might walk worthy of The Lord, and please Him with their efforts, and produce fruit in every good work, and grow spiritually.

We ought to sincerely pray for one another. (James 5:16)  Pray for those who are doing well and being productive in their work for The Lord, and for those who are struggling.  We all need more knowledge of His will, and more wisdom and understanding.  We all also need His help in order to live a life that is worthy of The Lord.  Let us pray for one another that our efforts will be good works, and that we will produce good fruit as we grow spiritually.  Let us also thank God that some one prayed for us.
