Prayer Challenge- Day 3

14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
 15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. (Col 3:14-15 NIV)

As you meditate on what it means to "put on love", what images come to mind? Can you imagine what it looks like to "put on love"?

As you pray, ask God to give you the ability to think creatively about ways to love others.

Prayer Challenge- Day 2

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. (Col 3:13 NIV)

As you meditate on this verse, give thanks for God's forgiveness.  Do you remember what it was like the first time you experienced God's forgiveness?

Ask the Lord to show you someone you need to forgive (trust me, there is someone you haven't forgiven).  What is keeping you from forgiving? Pray for that person, and ask God to give you the strength to truly forgive.

Prayer Challenge day 1

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. (Col 3:12 NIV)

In your prayer time, meditate on this verse.  What word sticks out to you the most?  How can you clothe yourself with these character traits?  Which of these words describes you most?  Least?

Pray that God will enable you to live the kind of life to which he has called you.
