CONTINUE IN PRAYER

Scripture:   Colossians 4:2 “Continue in prayer, watch in the same with thanksgiving.”

    Prayer is such an important part of the Christian’s life!  The text verse today tells us to continue in prayer!  Here’s a few reasons why we need to continue on in prayer!
    First, because the days are evil.  2 Timothy 3:1 says, “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.”  We are living in those days!  Dangerous times.  We live in a time when we see wickedness on every hand.  Vile, wicked souls are willfully sinning! Dear saint of God, don’t stop praying!
    We need to continue in prayer, because there is division among the brethren. If we could all just work together to get the job done  for the glory of God, it would amaze us at what could be accomplished!  There are conflicts over the Scripture today!  Oh, how we need to pray that we could accept the Word of God for what it is, believe it and do it! Oh, how we need to continue in prayer.
    We need to continue in prayer, because of the discouragement in the Churches. Many are discouraged over the apathy in the Churches.  So many are just not interested in the things of God anymore.  Many are discouraged over the attendance!  Many are discouraged over the attitudes of the people! Oh, how we need to pray as never before, that God would encourage our hearts once again!
    We need to continue in prayer, because the devil is still deceiving. The Bible tells us that he is walking about as a roaring lion, but remember he is not a roaring lion. His agenda is to lead men away from the truth.  We need to pray continually, that we might be aware of the devices and tricks of the devil and that we might cling to the truth of the Word of God! 
    We need to spend much time, daily on our knees before God!  Let’s be determined to continue in prayer!
