Praying God’s Word Wednesday #56: Colossians 3:2

July 6, 2022 by Lauren 6 Comments

As I write this, my teenage daughter is at Estes Park, Colorado for church camp.  I’m in hot, humid Texas; and not one bit jealous!  Although I would love some cooler temps and mountain views, what I’m most envious of (Forgive me, Lord.) is the chance to get away with God.

 

I’m so thankful that our Father allows us to come to him any time and any where.  But there’s something about being away from home in a serene setting.  Being able to leave behind the chores, the pressures of work or school and the pull of so many other things.  There’s nothing like worshipping God and spending time with Him in that environment.

 

But since I don’t have that luxury right now, I’ve been in my comfy recliner in the air conditioning praising Him, praying to Him and studying His word.  And Colossians 3:2 jumped out at me as the perfect verse to pray over my daughter to make the most of her opportunity to focus on our God and Savior.

 

“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”

Colossians 3:2 NIV

 

My prayer for my girl:

 

 

Lord God, thank You for the chance for Allie to get away in Your beautiful creation.  Remove her not just physically, but spiritually from all the worldly junk.  May she look to You and Your Word in all things.  Light her up with Your love and truth!  Amen.  

 

Modify this prayer to be appropriate for the person (or yourself) that you are praying for.

 

Praying for you in this.  And don’t forget to share on social media or with a friend who could benefit.  It would mean so much to me.  And if you don’t want to miss a Praying God’s Word Wednesday, subscribe over on the right hand side of this page.

    That’s nice. I love it. I am also still here (not on holiday). I love that prayer. I will pray it when my daughter goes to Turkey on vacation with her boyfriend

About Me

I love Jesus, my husband and caffeine. The order of these can change depending on how tired I am. When my two daughters, stepson, and 4 grandchildren get to be too much, I practice yoga. God graciously allows me to share our adventures, victories and flub-ups from my laptop. May He be glorified here.
