    Colossians 1:9-14 teaches us that because believers are in Christ, we must pray to be filled with the knowledge of his will so we can walk worthily of the Lord.

    Introduction I want to begin by asking: If God has already saved you, what should you pray for? If you are a Christian, you read your Bible daily. If you are a Christian, you pray daily.

Prayer is one per cent insistence, to be sure; we do, in our prayers, tell God what ...read more
