Colossians Devotionals

Fight!

He is always wrestling for you in his prayers, so that you can stand mature and fully assured in everything God wills. (Colossians 4:12)

“He’s always wrestling for you in his prayers.”

That word “wrestle” is sometimes translated “fight” in the New Testament, (1 Timothy 6:12; 2 Timothy 4:7)

So you could probably translate Paul’s words, “He’s always fighting for you in his prayers.”

That resonates with me.

How often do I fight for people in my prayers?

There are two people in particular that I’m thinking of right now who are really struggling. But there are many more I know who are also having a really hard time.

And I just feel like God is saying to me, “Fight for them in your prayers. Fight! Don’t just give brief, token prayers for them. Fight!”

Who is God putting on your heart right now that he wants you to fight for?
