Think about this: the power to live a life worthy of the Lord.  Without God being my Savior, it is impossible to live a life worthy of the living God!

  How can we pray for ourselves?  How can we pray for other believers?
(NIV) Colossians 1:9-12 “…praying…asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.  10And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.”

  Our lives are to start with God…our lives are to be lived through His power…our lives are to be dependent on Him alone. 

  The above verses are instructive for how we are to live…our prayer lives are an important part of being witnesses to those with whom we have contact…how are you praying?
