How to Pray Like an Apostle: Part 5

Praying for a Fruitful Life

Paul's prayer in Colossians is one every Christian should memorize.

He asks that believers would be filled with the knowledge of God's will so they may live lives worthy of the Lord, bearing fruit in every good work.

Knowledge is never an end in itself.

It is meant to produce obedience.

One of the distinctive features of Deeper Prayer is its demonstration of how this emphasis grows throughout Paul's ministry. As the years pass, Paul's prayers increasingly focus on spiritual maturity, perseverance, faithful service, and eternal hope.

His prayer life reminds us that the goal of Christianity is not simply knowing biblical truth.

It is becoming people whose lives display the character of Christ.
