Colossians 1:9—For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire THAT ye might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding…
...we haven't stopped praying for you asking God to give you wise minds and spirits attuned to his will, and so acquire a thorough understanding of the ways in which God works.
We pray that you'll live well for the Master, making him proud of you as you work hard in his orchard. As you learn more and more how God works, you will learn how to do your work. We pray that you'll have the strength to stick it out over the long haul—not the grim strength of gritting your teeth but the glory-strength God gives. It is strength that endures the unendurable and spills over into joy, thanking the Father who makes us strong enough to take part in everything bright and beautiful that He has for us.
The prayer this month deals with one of the most difficult areas of life there is, that of knowing God’s will. Then, once it is known, many souls find even more difficulty in submitting to it. This is the reason we are called on to pray. For guidance in prayer we go to Paul’s Epistle to the Colossians.

DEAR FATHER,
Bring forth in these I hold before Youa clear knowledge
of what you want to do in them,...in all of us.
Send Your Spirit to renew our minds so we can
understand the out-workings of your will.
Give us the wisdom to relate properly to ourfamilies and
our responsibilities to others as they walk in Your will.
And, Lord, help us remember that our only hope is in Your grace and Your faithfulness,
even in the face of calamity, poverty, and the failure of those we have leaned on.
The forces coming against us are fierce. But they are not greater than Your grace.
The enemy is determined to stop us.
But You are moving in us to stand against him! Even if we face the great tribulation,
and the overwhelming spirit of anti-Christ, teach us that we can still trust You.
We need the help of Your Spirit. Teach us to glory in tribulation.
Forgive our complaining and teach us to rejoice in this trial.

Hello Brother Ed, I want to thank you so much for all of the encouraging literature these past few years, especially the “prayer-starters.” Your ministry has been a great blessing to me. “I was in prison, and ye came unto me.” ...When I walk out of prison in just a few months, I will be holding the hand of Jesus, and I will not let go. Thank you for being here for me… Your brother in Christ, Steven
Dear Bro. Corley, Thank you so much for your continued faithfulness and dedication to upholding the downtrodden and those considered the “outcasts” of society with the power of God’s Word and the Word of His Power! You touch deeply into broken lives providing God’s hope in places of darkness....
Dear True Lovers of God,Words could never convey the true gratitude I have for the opportunity to be writing this letter to you. You are truly an inspiration to me… I need you to know that your books and “prayer-starters” have been such a great blessing to me that I don’t have words to explain. It really seems that you know what’s going on with me because every one of your books with the “prayer-starters” have been everything I have been needing and wanting to pray and say to God, but I have not known how to voice my petitions. Each of these books with its “prayer-starters,” has applied to me and my circumstances I’m going through right now! Your literature has truly given me the push I needed to overcome attacks of the enemy. I’m so grateful to God for putting you guys in my life and I thank you for your love, concern and prayers…Please keep up the good work and I will keep praying for your guys…Your brother in Christ…Robert / Texas CONTINUE:
