2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3 And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. 4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. 5 Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. 6 Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. Collossions 4: 2-6. NIV
By focusing on prayer through the week, I find myself more 'watchful' over the Spiritual needs of others even if the prayer request did not mention this. Often through adversity discouragement grows and wears down our decison making abilities. But a sense of thankfulness swells when praying with expectation, thankful for the mighty work God can do.
I pray for God to open hearts and for the mystery of Chirst to be proclaimed with boldness and lives to be forever changed. I pray that as we grow in our walk, we as a body would develop our communication skills such that our conversatons with non-believers would be filled with grace and seasoned with salt.
