Pauls Outward Focused Prayer


Writing Colossians ... writing out the Bible helps me see things I never noticed...check out Pauls prayer for his friends...

Colossians 1 NLT
1:9
So we have continued praying for you ever since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you a complete understanding of what he wants to do in your lives, and we ask him to make you wise with spiritual wisdom.
1:10
Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and you will continually do good, kind things for others. All the while, you will learn to know God better and better.
Philemon 1:6 NIV
I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ.

Notice the same thought in Philemon...

Sharing our faith, doing good, being kind, living lives that reflect God's genorisity help us to know Him in ever increasing ways...
