But you must stay deeply rooted and firm in your faith. You must not give up the hope you received when you heard the good news. ~ Colossians 1:23a (CEV)
KEY IDEA: Stick with what you heard.
Lord,
THANKS: Thank you for your message of good news to us. And thank you for continuing to speak to us.
REGRETS: Sometimes when you speak I only hear what I want to hear. I'm too selective. It's not that I dislike you message. Rather I'm too busy listening to other voices -- including my own. I talk too much. I need to listen more to you than I talk -- even to you.
INTERCESSION: Heal my hearing so that I am an enthusiastic listener.
PURPOSE: My goal is to hear and follow your direction so that I become firmly rooted in the good news of Christ Jesus.
Amen.
