Praying the Bible

It has been six months since I have written on my blog.  At the time that I stopped, I was slightly overwhelmed with my husband's illness and mine.  Our health has slowly improved so that now I feel BORED!  I have been praying for guidance as to what to do.  I tried doing 'surveys at home' to earn extra money, but that in itself is a big joke! 

This week, however, when I was listening to the first reading for Thursday, Sept 1st, Colossians 1:9-14, it seemed to be aimed at me. 

     "...we do not cease praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God's will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, so as to be fully pleasing, in every good work bearing fruit and growing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with every power, in accord with his glorious might, for all endurance and patience, with joy giving thanks to the Father, who has made you fit to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in light...."

The community of saints is praying for you and me to increase our knowledge of God by praying the Bible.  Better things are in store for us as we deepen our relationship with Him.  We will multiply our good works and be able to joyfully withstand whatever obstacles may come our way.
