Continue Steadfastly

Today’s Reading Colossians 4 

Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.

A steadfast prayer involves a constant and unwavering engagement with God.  He’s always engaged, am I?   Praying with thankfulness and attentiveness even amidst difficulties. He gives it all and can take it away.  Either way, it’s always His plan. Am I praying or complaining?   This mindset needs to be my daily rhythm, doesn’t shift due to what the world says and gives.

Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.

Walking in wisdom includes knowing His Word and applying it to every aspect of how I spend my life.  Am I making the best use of my time? 

Dear Heavenly Father,

You know the answers to these questions.  I pray for Your strength in all my weakness to draw closer to You in each aspect of our lives.  We thank you, Lord, for this life and the opportunity to build Your Kingdom.

With much Grattitude!
