Epaphras, who is one of you, a slave of Christ Jesus, greets you. He is always contending for you in his prayers, so that you can stand mature and fully assured in everything God wills.

For this reason also, since the day we heard this, we haven’t stopped praying for you. We are asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

“As for me, I vow that I will not sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you. I will teach you the good and right way.

But you even undermine the fear of God
and hinder meditation before Him.

For what hope does the godless man have when he is cut off,
when God takes away his life?

But I call to God,
and the Lord will save me.

In return for my love they accuse me,
but I continue to pray.

He then told them a parable on the need for them to pray always and not become discouraged:

Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer.

Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert in this with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints.

Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

Pray constantly.

Thanksgiving
