I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Colossians 1-4

Once again I am challenged by Paul’s reference to prayer.  I know that I do not pray nearly as much as I should.  Paul writing about how he prayed continuously for the Colossian Believers reminds me that I do not pray enough.  However, what he prayed for is just as important as the fact that he prayed.  He prayed that God would give them complete knowledge of His will along with spiritual wisdom and understanding.  We should seek these things ourselves, as well as praying that other Believers receive them. Then towards the end of his letter, Paul tells them, and us, to devote themselves(and ourselves) to prayer.  So, let us devote ourselves to prayer so that we may live wisely among those who are not believers.
