Letters From Elder T.

Greetings,

Have you ever searched the scriptures for the perfect prayer? First of all, there is not just one perfect prayer. There are many perfect prayers written in the Holy Scriptures, and many perfect prayers prayed in the Holy Spirit. The perfect prayer is the prayer given by the Holy Spirit in the very moment it is needed, whether through the scriptures, or by the leading of the Holy Spirit. Years ago, I was given Colossians 1:9-14 (KJV) to pray for my new husband. I was instructed to insert his name,  and make my prayer for him more personal. I can testify today, that after thirty-seven years of marriage, and much prayer, God has proven to me the goodness, and effectiveness of His Word, as well as His faithfulness to it. Here is the Voice’s rendition of Colossians 1:9-14:

“Since the day we got this good news about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We ask:   

 

                                        This is a prayer for knowledge and insight that only can come from God.

​

Father, may they clearly know Your will and achieve the height and depth of spiritual wisdom and understanding. 10 May their lives be a credit to You, Lord; and what’s more, may they continue to delight You by doing every good work and growing in the true knowledge that comes from being close to You. 11 Strengthen them with Your infinite power, according to Your glorious might, so that they will have everything they need to hold on and endure hardship patiently and joyfully. 12 Thank You, Father, as You have made us eligible to receive our portion of the inheritance given to all those set apart by the light. 13 You have rescued us from dark powers and brought us safely into the kingdom of Your Son, whom You love 14 and in whom we are redeemed and forgiven of our sins [through His blood].”  

Is there someone you can pray this prayer for? I’m sure there are many. Prove God. Pray the word, and watch God perform it!
