Praying with Paul: 'Fullness of Love'

Sunday, December 28, 2025

Colossians 4:2-6

Dear Father, grantor of wisdom,

Help me conduct myself wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time.

Let my speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, and may I always know how to answer.

Help me and all your saints to show ourselves to be a people who live life to the fullest, because we live in the fullness of your love shown in Jesus Christ!

In the name of Jesus I ask you to fill our lives with your holy life and to claim all our motives and deeds as your own. Amen.
