- Colossians 1:9 (NIV)
Have you ever wondered how to pray for someone? A child, a friend, a pastor? Paul gives us something we can pray for anyone and everyone we know—that they be filled with the knowledge of God’s will.
It doesn’t matter who you are, where you are on the planet, what vocation you work in, or when you live in world history, we all need to know God’s will. If you are far from God or close to God, the need is the same.
When you are at a loss for what to pray, ask God to bring understanding of His eternal purposes—for yourself and for others.
