Wrestling Match

New believers need your prayers. They lack the inner strength and insight that comes with maturity, leaving them vulnerable to external pressures and struggles in the Christian life.

Paul prayed continually for the new believers he knew (1 Thessalonians 1:2). He even prayed for others he had never met, such as the believers in Colossae (Colossians 2:1-2). A co-worker named Epaphras joined Paul by “always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in the will of God, mature and fully assured” (Colossians 4:12).

Too often our prayers sound more like a grocery list than a wrestling match. We are busy listing our desires rather than struggling on behalf of others’ spiritual well being. Perhaps that’s because we fail to recognize the struggle that others experience or the power of prayer to make a difference.

Thought: Spiritual wrestling begins on your knees. 

Take a Step: Add new believers to your prayer list, recognizing the battle they face. Pray through Colossians 1:9-12 on their behalf. Other passages to use include Ephesians 1:15-19; 3:14-21; Philippians 1:9-11; 1 Thessalonians 3:12-13.

CoJourners: Learning to Share Your Faith

Helping another person come to Christ is one of our greatest privileges as a believer. Yet it can also be intimidating for many of us. The Bible provides insights and encouragement to equip and engage us in the process. Three important truths lay the foundation: Everyone is on a spiritual journey, God is already at work, and he wants to use you. Join us for this 28-day journey together.
