Colossians 1:9-12

International Children’s Bible

⁹ Since the day we heard this about you, we have continued praying for you. We ask God that you will know fully what God wants. We pray that you will also have great wisdom and understanding in spiritual things. ¹⁰ Then you will live the kind of life that honors and pleases the Lord in every way. You will produce fruit in every good work and grow in the knowledge of God. ¹¹ Then God will strengthen you with his own great power. And you will not give up when troubles come, but you will be patient. ¹² Then you will joyfully give thanks to the Father. He has made you^[a] able to have all that he has prepared for his people who live in the light.
