Let it be this way
When I pray:
Full of loving praise
And worship of worth,
Humble repentance,
Hopeful intercession,
Seeking His will.
Then pause.
Selah.
Pause to ponder;
Pause with purpose;
Come Holy Spirit.
Listening;
Expectant;
Obedient;
In silent submission,
Seeking revelation,
In faithful contemplation.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen.
For this reason,
since the day we heard about you,
we have not stopped praying for you
and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will
through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.
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,
being strengthened with all power
according to his glorious might
so that you may have great endurance and patience,
and joyfully giving thanks to the Father,
who has qualified you to share
in the inheritance of the saints
in the kingdom on light.
For he has rescued us
from the dominion of darkness
and brought us into the kingdom
of the Son he loves,
in whom we have redemption,
the forgiveness of sins.
Colossians 1:9-14
