We Pray That You Will Be Strengthened From God’s
Boundless Resources, So That You Will Find Yourselves Able
To Pass Through Any Experience And Endure It With Courage. 


Scripture

Colossians 1

11-14 As you live this new life, we pray that you will be strengthened from God’s boundless resources, so that you will find yourselves able to pass through any experience and endure it with courage. 

You will even be able to thank God in the midst of pain and distress because you are privileged to share the lot of those who are living in the light. 

For we must never forget that he rescued us from the power of darkness, and re-established us in the kingdom of his beloved Son, that is, in the kingdom of light. 

For it is by his Son alone that we have been redeemed and have had our sins forgiven. (Phillips)

Observation

God’s boundless resources are available to you and to me when we surrender our lives to the Lord Jesus Christ. The moment we repent of our sins, and place our faith and trust in Jesus Christ, receiving forgiveness of all of our sins through Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross, in that very moment we are immediately transferred into His glorious kingdom, the kingdom of light. 

God’s boundless resources/ His glorious power will strengthen us (because we are His children) so that we can pass through any experience and endure it with courage. 

And we will be able to thank God in the midst of pain and distress because of all we have as children of the King of Kings!

Philippians 4:13 

I can endure all these things through the power of the one who gives me strength.

 Application

I will pray the Apostle Paul’s prayer in Colossians 1 for you today!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, this is my prayer today for any person that may read this blog.

 I ask that You strengthen them with Your glorious power so that they will have all the endurance and patience that they need. Fill them with Your joy so that they can give You thanks! Give them complete knowledge of Your will and give them spiritual wisdom and understanding! (Colossians 1:9&11 personalized)

I pray for Millie Roberts today on her birthday. I pray that You use Millie and her husband Hugh and their mission team in a powerful way in the country of Uganda. Keep them safe. Speak through them using the very same Power that raised Jesus from the dead.
