Colossians 1:9
For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
What of Today’s Verse…
In a world where we can feel so isolated and alone at times, it is so important for us to know that someone is praying for us and for our spiritual needs. As I think of the thousands who are a part of the Today’s Verse ministry, I cannot help but pray that each of them, that you, are blessed by knowing that you share a spiritual journey with people all over the world, and that today, we will praying for each other. And of course there can be no better prayer than the one that Paul prayed for the Colossian friends he had never met — “I ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.” Let’s pray that for each other today.
Let us Pray:
Oh precious and divine Father, today I pray for the other believers who come before you and seek to live for you. I pray especially for those who share the Today’s Verse journey with me. Even though we live all over the world and have all sorts of needs, we all know that our deepest need is to know and live your will and to be confident that we are known and loved by you. Please fill all of us with the knowledge of your will through Spirit-led wisdom and understanding. We want to know you, honour you, serve you, and ultimately see you face-to-face. Through our older brother Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Let Go, Let God
The Spirit of God sustains and upholds me at all times.
If difficulties are mounting at home or at work, I may feel as if I’m struggling to keep my head above water. I then ask myself, Why am I trying to go it alone?
I know what to do as I read words of Scripture: “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit says the Lord.” It’s time to let go and let God. It’s time to stop struggling and let any burden be lifted from me.
This is a sweet and gentle reminder that I am never alone and that there is no need to struggle. God loves me and calls for me to turn within. The Spirit of God sustains and upholds me at all times.
I release all to God–all worry, all pain. Both physically and spiritually, I feel peace wash over me. I am comforted. The Spirit of God is here–within me and everywhere around me. I accept, I release, and I am free.
“Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of hosts.” –Zechariah 4:6
