Paul concludes his letter to the Colossians with some instructions about prayer. He asks them to pray for him and those who are with him in Rome – not that they might be release from prison, but that God would open doors in their current situation to share the Gospel effectively with those around them. He advises the Colossians (and us) to be specific in our prayers, to always pray with thankful hearts, and to pray always in the Spirit. But he also gives a warning to always be watchful so that we don’t fall into temptations from the spirit of our enemy.
