Introduction

Colossians 4:2–18: The apostle Paul reminds the Colossians to be persistent in prayer and encourages them to treat non-believers in a way that demonstrates Christian love. He concludes the letter with personal greetings to the community of believers.

Today’s Key Verse: Colossians 4:2

Be persistent in prayer, and keep alert as you pray, giving thanks to God.

Reflect

Paul indicates that we are to pray for others and that prayer is a meaningful way to keep us bound together within a community of faith. For whom will you pray today?

Pray

Holy God, I praise and thank you for your mercy, love, and grace. Help me to be persistent in prayer for those in my community and those who do not know you, and draw me close to you. In Jesus’s holy name, I pray, Amen.
