Today's Passage: Colossians 1:1-8Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,To the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae:Grace to you and peace from God our Father.We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and increasing—as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth, just as you learned it from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf and has made known to us your love in the Spirit.Today's Prayer: Lord, we thank you for your beautiful Word,Your Gospel truth that brings hope and life.Your Word is alive and active,Bearing fruit and reaching to the end of the earth. We thank you for your church,The saints who continue to lay down their lives before you,Your sons and daughters who are chosen and dearly loved. As your people meditate on your Word—Keep our hearts ever on fire for more of your Spirit.Remind us of the hope that we have in Christ Jesus.Bring clarity and light to where you are at work.Strengthen us for the path you have laid before us. We love you, Lord.Amen.NOTES & LINKS:Information about the Women's Summer StudyInformation about the Men's Summer StudyReach out to the Center for Spiritual Formation
