Today's Passage: Colossians 1:24-27
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church, of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Today's Prayer:
Lord, you graciously invite your people into your work.
You allow us to be a vessel for the work of your hands.
When we are faced with suffering,
Remind us of who you are.
When we’re unsure how to persevere,
Remind us of your strength in our weakness.
Keep our eyes on you.
Strengthen our minds for the work you have placed before us.
Guide our hands and feet as we care for your beautiful creation.
We long to be a people that point the world to your glory.
We long to be a people that point to the great hope we have in Christ.
You are the hope of glory.
We love you, Lord.
Amen.
