“For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.” Colossians 1:9-12
Lord Jesus, Pour out your Holy Spirit on us. I don’t always understand your Word or your will fully or perfectly. And even if I have all the information, I don’t always understand how it all fits together. Sometimes I feel that the saints of the Old Testament had all the pieces to the puzzle of your coming but didn’t know the times or places that the Holy Spirit was talking about. There is so much about your Word, about your will, about my life, and about my living that I haven’t even begun to understand. Fill me with an understanding of your will and a deep wisdom to be able to put that will to practice as I live my life and make sense of the path my life takes. Pour out your Holy Spirit on me so that I can know you and your will better and more fully. Amen.
While on earth we never get to the point where we understand perfectly or fully. Come, Holy Spirit, and fill us with wisdom, with knowledge, and with understanding.
