Praying with Paul: 'No Distinctions'

Tuesday, December 23, 2025

Colossians 3:5-10

Dear Father,

Let me live in the light of your truth about myself - that my old nature has been put off, with its baggage of practices, and that I have put on a new nature, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.

Help us to make no distinctions regarding origins, heredity, or traditions, but to see Christ in all believers.

Help us to let Christ be in us, to transform and renew every fiber of our being and of our relationships.

In the name of Jesus. Amen.
