KICK START PRAYER

What a Kick Start Prayer for the people at Colossae from Paul’s letter to them. I have cut them out in lines to try and grab each one:

“Because of this, since the day we heard about you, we have continued praying for you,

asking God that you will know fully what he wants.

We pray that you will also have great wisdom and understanding in spiritual things

so that you will live the kind of life that honors and pleases the Lord in every way.

You will produce fruit in every good work and grow in the knowledge of God. 

God will strengthen you with his own great power so that you will not give up when troubles come,

but you will be patient. 

And you will joyfully give thanks to the Father

who has made you able to have a share in all that he has prepared for his people in the kingdom of light. 

God has freed us from the power of darkness,

and he brought us into the kingdom of his dear Son.”

The Son paid for our sins, and in him we have forgiveness.”

(Paul, an apostle, to the Colossian church. 1:9-13)

I think the choice is to pray a Kick Start Prayer or a Kick the Can prayer.

“When you pray, say: ‘Father, may your name always be kept holy. May your kingdom come.” Jesus
