Scripture: Colossians 4:2
"Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving."
Meditation:

"A clear revelation has been given me in regard to the need of our people assembling together, confessing their sins, repenting before God, and continuing in prayer until the Lord manifests himself to them with power. If ever a people needed to offer a prayer such as Daniel offered, it is our people."1

"Place your feet in the path of God's commandments, and be assured that your prayers will be answered. There is a great lack of earnestness, a great lack of vital interest in prayer. Yet we are exhorted to be 'instant in prayer,' 'to pray without ceasing.' We are to keep a spirit of intercession, and present all our wants to God. We are to tell him about the smallest things of life--our cares, our business, our desires and needs. You can never weary the Lord by your importuning. It is by beholding Jesus that you become changed into the divine similitude. We may behold him by continuing in prayer, until we are not aware that we are praying; for our souls turn to the Sun of Righteousness as a flower turns to the light."2
