verse of the day colossians 1:10

And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,

When I read this verse I am reminded of all the people who pray for me
While I very much appreciate those who pray for the prayer request such as exams and feeling sick or other things like that, it is the prayers that are like this verse that are truly felt and desperately needed.
God has blessed me with so many people who, like Paul, never stop praying for me since they have known me. This verse basically sums up everything you should and I should be praying for those who are our brothers and sisters in Christ, that they may live a life worthy of the Lord. This means that we are praying for those around us to live in obedience and complete joy in knowing Christ, this is repeated by also praying that they would bare fruit and grow in the knowledge of God. Bearing fruit is the result of obedience and the result of growing in knowledge of God is growing in joy.
So pray for those closest to you and those who you barely know that they would live worthy lives to God
and even more so be truly thankful for those whom you know that pray this for you and for those who don't even know you but are still praying for you in this way
