A labor of love.

As you begin to read through the writing of
Paul, you quickly realize the weight and depth
of his prayer live. I recall not long ago a statement
heard  that a " Man is not greater than his prayer
live. How remarkable that is

In the story here, it is so revealing, particularly his
to the Colossians Christian, where with other
fellow ministers , " cease not to pray" for them.
The desire need of their prayer were " That ye
( The Colossians ), might be filled with the
knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding . That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God . Strengthen with all might according to his glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness." ( Col:9-11 ).

It is so important to see, and capture the essence of the whole story here. The dynamic , the bound ,the calling ford a relational-ship in prayer for other, to desire there well being in faith.
 A nurturing, and the maturity in the living out of relationships, in manner that is benefited to them as individual, more so as a community of believer. Make no mistake about this, life is 
 hard suffering and of such along the path way,  prayer is indeed a labor of love.My encouragement to you, and so for myself, be not weary in prayer, it is   a  labor of love.Stay with it, see it through, until God shows up, and do what only he can do, answer prayer. Have a good and godly day, and remember," Think critically and pray strategically."
