Passage: Colossians 1:9-12*
9. For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not
ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in
all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
10. so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please
Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of
God;
11. strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might,
for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously
12. giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in
the inheritance of the saints in light.

Practical help
Have you ever had the joy of knowing that a friend is praying for
you? Being the topic of someone’s prayer is one of the greatest privileges we can
have. Can you imagine someone praying for YOU the way Paul prayed for the Colossians? What
an encouragement that would be! What a resource of power and blessing that would be! In
your struggle to be victorious over a chronic temptation toward the lure of porn, your
greatest ally may be a prayer partner who will bring you before God in prayer and ask God
to give you the capacity to "walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in
all respects."
As a practical step, why not seek out someone who will pray for you?
You may just find the power of God you have been looking for in the resource of a faithful
prayer partner.
