What is your definition of prayer?

Prayer at its highest is a two-way conversation and for me the most important part is listening to Gods replies. - Frank C. Laubach

Colossians 4:2-6
2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3 And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. 4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. 5 Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. 6 Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

What are you devoted to?

God is calling us to devote ourselves to prayer.

What does it mean to be devoted to prayer?

To be devoted to prayer means to be in an unceasing two-way conversation with God.

Paul is making a personal request to pray for him.

Praying is not only praying for ourselves. It is also praying for others.

This is praying as a team!

Pray for the gospel message to be spread and for people to accept it.

If prayer is an unceasing two-way conversation with God, we should always be asking God...

How do I maximize this opportunity for the sake of the gospel?

If we truly care about the gospel, we will pray...
