Do you know God's will for you?

“For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;”
Colossians 1:9(KJV)

From our opening scripture, we see that it is God's desire for you to be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Why is it important you know God's will for your life, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding? Colossians 1:10 shows us, “That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;”

This means that when you pray Colossians 1:9, your life will become more pleasing to God, because understanding the knowledge of His will, helps you to minimize your mistakes. Also, when wisdom and understanding is at work in you, it will increase your effectiveness, making you more fruitful, even as you increase in your knowledge of God.

Colossians 1:11 shows us more results the prayer in Colossians 1:9 is going to accomplish in us. As you pray this prayer, you will be; “Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;” This lets you know that if you are going to be patient in the midst of challenges, and still be filled with joy, you must be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.

Therefore, with this understanding, I believe you can now see the importance of praying this prayer, so, if you want to know God's will for your life at every point in time, this is the prayer that you must pray for yourself often.
