Prayer Shapes Perspective

Colossians 1:9–14 | Foundations Series

Prayer isn’t just words we speak to God—it’s how God reshapes our perspective. In Colossians 1, Paul prays for the believers to grow in wisdom, walk worthy of the Lord, bear fruit, endure trials with joy, and give thanks for redemption in Christ.

In this message, we’ll see how prayer acts both as a thermometer—revealing the temperature of our hearts—and as a thermostat—changing the climate of our souls. Prayer aligns us with God’s will, anchors us in His truth, and equips us to live with a truly biblical worldview in a confusing world.

Key Takeaways:

Prayer fills us with wisdom and understanding to discern God’s will.

A life pleasing to the Lord will bear visible fruit in character, conduct, and influence.

Endurance and patience come from God’s power, not our own.

Gratitude flows when we remember God has qualified, delivered, and redeemed us in Christ.

Reflect:

Where do you need God to realign your heart with His truth?
