Col 4:2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
We have many needs, in our own lives and all around us. Our society, our country and our world stand in desperate need of prayer. We are to persevere in prayer, to stick with it, to continue watchfully in prayer. Don’t lose confidence, don’t give up. We are to bring our needs and concerns to God in prayer. However, we also need to do so with thanksgiving. We are not to despair, keep holding on to God, yet do so while remembering His goodness and faithfulness. Bring your needs to God, but do so with a thankful heart for what He has already done
