Faith Believers,
The Lord our God is the “GOD who gives life to the dead
and calls things that are not as though they were” (Romans 4:17b).
Sometimes it is hard to imagine that our enemies could ever
turn away from evil and come to God,
but He has called us to pray for them.
What seems impossible to us,
is possible with God (reflect on Mark 10:27).
What greater love could there be
than to pray that GOD
draws them into His kingdom?

Below are some passages from the book of Colossians that
you may pray on their behalf:
- Pray that GOD will rescue them from the dominion of darkness
and bring them “into the kingdom of the Son He [the Father] loves, in whom we
have redemption, the forgiveness of sins” - Colossians 1:13-14.
- Pray GOD will make known to them His glorious riches through
the mystery of Christ (reflect on Colossians 1:27).
- Pray that they may “know the
mystery of GOD, namely Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom
and knowledge” - Colossians 2:2-3.
- Pray that they will “put to death whatever belongs to their
earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed,
which is idolatry” - Colossians 3:5.
- Pray that they will rid themselves of “anger, rage, malice,
slander, and filthy language from [their] lips” - Colossians 3:8.
- Pray that they will become one of GOD’s children, holy and
dearly loved, clothed with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and
patience (reflect on Colossians 3:12).
- Pray they will come to know and possess the love of the Lord
(reflect on Colossians 3:14).
- Pray that they will come to know the peace of Christ and that it will rule in their hearts (reflect on Colossians 3:15).
~ A Focused Prayer ~
Loving GOD,
Teach me to pray for my enemies,
and show me how to love them as You do!
Free them from darkness and draw them into Your light!
Make Yourself known to them,
so that they will become Your precious children,
clothed in holiness.
Fill them with Your peace!
And continue to use me as a conduit
for Your love in their lives!
