Pray | Jan. 2nd

 “Continue steadfastly in prayer,”

    Colossians 4:2

   From early in scripture, man began to call upon the name of God. Throughout history, patriarchs, priests, prophets, and all of God's children have done so.

  Prayers arose in temples, in the belly of a whale, with the dawn, and at midnight—for mercy, forgiveness, adoration, and thanksgiving.

   Some prayers were silent; others were uttered with tears and groans. God's people prayed alone and in groups, from palaces and prisons. Our Lord Himself prayed.

   Scripture testifies to countless prayers, thanks, and intercessions. Let us then continue with the great cloud of witnesses who came before us, being steadfast in prayer and trusting God to hear us always.

In Christ Alone.
