Sometimes we need to perform a spiritual reset and get back to the basics. Let's consider prayer for a moment. What do you pray for? Who do you pray for?
One of the key things that we are supposed to do as Christians is make disciples. Are we praying for those that God has entrusted us with reaching and mentoring? That is one of the key things that Paul did. Check out these key verses from Colossians:
For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father who has qualified you to share the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. (Colossians 1:9-13)
There is a LOT in there that we should be doing as a part of our own spiritual action. So, let's put Christianity in action. Consider the following
- Who are you helping grow?
- If you aren't helping anyone grow as a follower of God, ask Him to send you someone
- Who is helping you grow?
- If there is no one in your life helping you grow as a follow of God, ask Him to send you someone
- Examine what you pray for regarding those who God has placed in your life
- Who do you pray for
- What do you ask for them
Let's get back to the basics...
