Colossians 1:28-29

Dear Father, source of our energy,

We do hope in you because our Lord lives his life through us and blesses others through the genuine love which he gives.

Grant us to proclaim him, warning and teaching everyone in all wisdom, so that we can present people mature in Christ.

Grant that we may strive for this with all the energy which you mightily inspire within us.

All good things are from you. There is no blessing except by your grace. We live and rejoice because of you!

In the name of Jesus I ask. Amen.
