Hello
@TEXBOW this is from a lesson that I am working on.
Desire to share with you how important prayer is in the daily life of a Christian.
Col 1:3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
Here in verse three of this letter we see again always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when Paul and timothy are praying for others there in Colossians, which it is important for us to also pray for others in our own lives. Did you know that is something that is good and pleasing in the sight of the Father? Let me share with you four verses from
1Ti 2:1 First of all, then, I urge that
supplications,
prayers,
intercessions, and
thanksgivings be made
for all people,
1Ti 2:2
for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.
What is the purpose of praying? Giving supplications, prayers, intercession, thanksgivings to be made for all people, even for Kings, and all who in high position (Like supervisors, or bosses at work),
Therefore praying helps you in your spiritual walk as a Christians relying on God, in and through your day to day life as you pray for people that you know, you ask God for help on a problem or situation, reading and looking at your bible for help as well to keep you spiritually inclined living by faith with the holy spirit of God which is given by God and placed into our hearts.
1Ti 2:2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that
we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.
The outcome from doing the above is that way you are able to get into a method of having a peaceful, and quiet life while here on earth having fellowship with God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and love for God and love for others. Praying for them, even help with your own problems to God that are dealing with spiritual things heavenly requests and helps from the Holy Spirit. To have love, peace, mercy, grace, freely in and through Christ though us.
1 Ti 2:2
godly and dignified in every way.
Living in a devotion to having God first in your heart, and having a dignified life style that will end up bringing forth to you a peaceable and quiet life.
Who doesn't like that have that, even with being married from time to time, you need peace and quiet, having devotion to God and reading and sharing the word with others when given those chances to, and learn and grow in the word of God and your mind will be renewed and transformed which is the work of God doing so, by you allowing it to be so provided in doing so is in faith.
1Ti 2:3
This is good, and
it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,
Because of doing these things, it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior.
1Ti 2:4
who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
