How to Pray EffectivelySample

Pray for Spiritual Insight and Wisdom
Paul’s prayer for the Colossians was that they would be “filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.” Effective prayer isn’t just about asking for material blessings; it’s about seeking wisdom to walk in God’s will. When we pray for insight, we open ourselves to seeing things from God’s perspective, guiding our actions with His wisdom.
Reflective Question: What area in your life needs God’s wisdom? Today, ask God to fill you with spiritual insight to make decisions aligned with His will.
