Christ Over Everything - ColossiansSample

Theme: Devoted to Prayer and the Gospel

Paul opens the final chapter with instructions for both masters and servants, but quickly shifts to a call for all believers: be devoted to prayer. This isn’t casual or convenient prayer—it’s persistent, watchful, and thankful. Paul knew that consistent communion with God was the power source for everything else.

He also asks for prayer himself—not for comfort or safety, but for an open door to share the gospel clearly. That’s the heart of a leader who lives on mission. Even in prison, Paul is thinking about how to make Christ known.

These verses challenge us to pray bigger, more kingdom-minded prayers. Are our requests mostly about our own comfort? Or are we asking for open doors to bring Jesus into our world?

Daily Application: Set aside 10 minutes today to pray specifically for open doors—opportunities to share Jesus clearly with someone in your life.
