Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison— that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.
- Colossians 4: 2-4
I am simply astounded at the Apostle Paul. Even while in prison and suffering deprivation and physical discomfort, his only prayer request to the Colossians was that the Lord might open doors for him to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Should we not be ashamed at our own petty prayer requests for our own comfort?
