For Further Study on Colossians 4:1-6

“Devote yourselves to prayer…”
Read The Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13
This prayer is a model on how to pray. Study it verse by verse then write down what the Holy Spirit speaks to your heart. Check a commentary to study the above scriptures.


“Let your speech always be with grace…”
Got to www.biblegateway.com and search the word “tongue.”
Look up every verse. Take side notes as God speaks to you about any area you need to change.


...so you will know how to respond to each person.”
Scriptures tell us our conversation should be seasoned with salt and grace. Make a list of affirmation words you could use in speaking to others. Be INTENTIONAL.
Example: I’m so happy you are here today. You are a blessing to me.


“Conduct yourself with wisdom toward outsiders…”
Step up and depend on Jesus to help you witness, even if it’s a few words God will use it, but we need to open our mouth. Be ready to briefly share Christ this week to someone. Start with a Christmas Eve invite card, then call or text a sister in Christ to share.
