Give Thanks And Praise

Love for his brothers and sisters in Christ was clearly seen in all of Paul's writings and in this letter to the Colossians, his heart's desire was that these beloved believers would gain great spiritual strength. He knew that many blessings and benefits follow those who continue earnestly to pray in faith and for those who are vigilant in their worship, praise, and thanksgiving. Paul knew that it is God's will that His blood-bought sons and daughters rejoice in the Lord always, and so he encouraged each one to rejoice continuously, to pray without ceasing and in everything to Give Thanks And Praise to our Heavenly Savior. But Paul also knew that prayer is a God-given privilege that has been awarded to every Christian, and those that walk in spirit and truth and pray into the Father's will, are assured that their prayers will be heard and answered, for His greater praise and glory. May we all seek to be faithful servants of God and develop the sort of Christlike character that honors the Lord in word and in deeds, and may we give godly encouragement and comfort to all those who are placed in our path, for the honor of His holy name.

I am sending him to you for the express purpose that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts.

Our United Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Give us the grace to faithfully fulfil the work that You have called us to do. We pray that we may continue earnestly in prayer, be vigilant in worship, give comfort and encouragement to others, and in everything give thanksgiving and praise, for the honor of Your name. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
