Thankful Hearts

This week’s Bible verse: Colossians 4: 2-6 Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about his mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains. Pray that I will proclaim this message as clearly as I should. Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone. - The definition and application for devote here = to be strong - So we are to be strong in prayer, keep our minds alert and our hearts thankful - Not only for ourselves but especially for when we get the opportunity to talk to others Prayer: Lord help me to be strong
