Colossians 4:2
"Continue in prayer and watch in the
same with thanksgiving."
All might, power, and life come from God; we continually dependent upon him for all these: To earnest, persevering prayer, he has promised every supply; but he who prays not has no promise. How few wives feel it their duty to pray to God to give them grace to behave as wives! How few husbands pray for the grace of God to be a godly husband, that they may be able to fulfill the duties of a husband! As every situation in life has its peculiar duties, trials, etc; so to every situation there is peculiar grace appointed. No man can fulfill the duties of any situation without the grace suited to that situation. Many marriages become unhappy in the end, because the parties have not earnestly besought God for the grace necessary for them as husbands and wives. This is the origin of family problems in general; and a proper attention to "God's Word" would prevent them all.
Be always on your guard; and when you have got grace from God by praying, take care of it, and bring it into its fullness by watchfulness in which you will know; when, where, and how to apply it. Let us always be grateful to God, who has called us into salvation, through His grace, and affords us abundant means and opportunities to glorify him.
Amen!!
