Are We Courageously Persistent In Prayer?

Col 4:2-4 "Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving; meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains, that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak."
NKJV Copyright 1982 Thomas Nelson Publishers

Do we spend enough time each day praying? When we do pray, do we do so as earnestly as God wants us to pray?

I see here that Paul didn't ask the Christians in Colosse to start praying. He told them to continue in prayer, and to do so earnestly. The Greek text conveys the meaning of “to be courageously persistent” or “to hold fast and not let go."

Paul wanted Christians to be courageously persistent that a door would be open to the Word, and that he and others would speak it to others.

I am sure that is the kind of praying that God wants all followers of Christ to be actively engaged in.

We should want the glorious mystery of Christ, that He would sacrifice His life to save sinners like us, to be spoken everywhere.

Let's pray earnestly for one another that we share the Word of God with others. That's what God want us to do. Let's settle for nothing less than what God wants.
