Prayer Focus-The Will of God

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Focus, we take a look at Paul’s Prayer for the Church to know the will of God.

In Colossians 1:9, the Apostle Paul wrote, “we continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives.”

Paul was constantly interceding for this church to know God’s will.

One reason was so that they might live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way.

Another reason was so that they might bear good fruit in every good work.

And a third reason was so that they might be strengthened with all power to have great endurance and patience.

Knowing God’s will is the first step to doing God’s will that makes a  difference in people’s lives for the Gospel.

Paul’s Prayer for the Church to know the will of God is worth examining for a faith-focused life.
