COLOSSIANS PRAYER

Thank you, Father, for your gospel and your presence in our lives. The story is all about you and the power, strength, and glorious might are all in your hands and not our own. We long for your presence to be revealed to allow those attributes to be visible in our world today. I love you Father and I long to know more of who you are and not just know your word. I am thankful for how the Gospel has been bearing fruit and growing in my life because of your work through it. Your unconditional love and grace has changed me and allowed me the freedom to fail and the freedom to love. I want to go after all that you have called me to and not shrink back because of worries or faithlessness. You have obviously always come through on your promises. I not only want to take the risks, but be able to own up to my failures. Help me Lord Jesus to enjoy you and trust you no matter what. Help me to love you and to enjoy you, not everything else. Thank you for allowing me to share in the kingdom of the saints of light, for giving me faith, hope, and love; for strengthening me; and most of all for rescuing me from the dominion of darkness.

Thank you, Jesus, that you are the image of the invisible God. You created all things and placed all things under your feet. All of this world, every detail, points to you. Even the things that are unknown to me and invisible to me point to you. Without your sustaining hand all would cease. Thank you for upholding us and leading us to your presence. I pray that you would come back to get us and bring us home for all eternity. You have made peace with God and you have the supremacy. I bow in honor of you and place my life in your hands. I need you Lord Jesus and I pray that your rule and reign would take precedence over my own. I want to step off of the throne and allow you to sit to direct and empower me to live for you. Thank you Lord Jesus for what you will do in and through me today.
