Today's Good News

JULY 23 – PRAY

07/23          Colossians 4:11-17

11 Jesus (the one we call Justus) also sends his greetings. These are the only Jewish believers among my co-workers; they are working with me here for the Kingdom of God. And what a comfort they have been! 12 Epaphras, a member of your own fellowship and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you his greetings. He always prays earnestly for you, asking God to make you strong and perfect, fully confident that you are following the whole will of God.  13 I can assure you that he prays hard for you and also for the believers in Laodicea and Hierapolis.  14 Luke, the beloved doctor, sends his greetings, and so does Demas.  15Please give my greetings to our brothers and sisters at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church that meets in her house. 16 After you have read this letter, pass it on to the church at Laodicea so they can read it, too. And you should read the letter I wrote to them. 17 And say to Archippus, “Be sure to carry out the ministry the Lord gave you.” 18 HERE IS MY GREETING IN MY OWN HANDWRITING —PAUL . Remember my chains. May God’s grace be with you.

PRAY

Father help me to pray for my family, friends and need.  The world is a needy place and there are so many poor.  I do pray for relationships.  Train me to be winsome and gentle always quick to encourage and never discourage others. Thank you Lord for your encouragement of me.
