Colossians 1:9-11

From the day we first heard of your faith and love, we have not stopped praying for you. We ask God to fill you with the full knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. We pray that your life will be worthy of the Lord, pleasing him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God. We pray for you to be strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for great endurance and perseverance with joy.
