Colossians 1  Paul was thankful to God for what he was hearing about the believers in Colosse : 

He heard of their faith in Jesus. 

He heard of their love for the saints. 

He heard of their hope in heaven. 

He heard of their reception of the Word of God. 

He heard of the fruitfulness of their lives as they shared the Gospel. 

He heard of the love "which the Spirit" had given them. 

So Paul prayed that they would keep growing - growing in knowledge and understanding of God's will; growing in character and in strength; growing in patience and perseverance . 

This  powerful prayer in found in verses 9-12:

"Therefore, from the day we heard of it, we have not stopped praying for you,

asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and understanding,

which the Spirit gives;

so that you may live lives worthy of the Lord and entirely pleasing to hm,

being fruitful in every good work and multiplying in the full knowledge of God.

We pray that you will be continually strengthened with all the power that comes from his glorious might.

so that you will be able to persevere and be patient in any situation, joyfully giving thanks

to the Father for having made you fit to share in the inheritance of his people in the light."

We cannot do much better than to pray these things for one another... 

Father we thank You for making us fit for the inheritance that lies ahead for us in Your light..  May we grow in understanding and knowledge of Your will.  May we truly love others and be faithful in serving others.. that the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control, in the Spirit, would increase more and more... to the glory of Your Name. We thank You for rescuing us from the domain of darkness and placing us in the Kingdom of Your dear Son, for it is in His name, the name of Jesus that we pray. Amen.
