Devotion 10: Strengthened in Faith
(Colossians 1:11-12 – Endurance and Power in Prayer)
The Strength to Keep Praying
“May you be strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.” – Colossians 1:11-12
Intercession is not for the faint of heart. Many begin with passion but grow weary when prayers seem unanswered. Paul reminds us that we must be strengthened with power—not by our own ability, but by God’s might.
Spiritual Endurance in Prayer
- Faith is Strengthened in Trials – Just as muscles grow through resistance, faith is strengthened through waiting and testing (James 1:2-3).
- Endurance is a Mark of a Mature Intercessor – Many people pray once and give up. True intercession requires consistency (Luke 18:1-8).
- Joy is a Weapon in Spiritual Warfare – The enemy seeks to wear down intercessors, but joy in the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10).
Application for Intercessors
- Ask for Strength to Persist in Prayer – Pray for endurance in your intercession, refusing to be discouraged (Galatians 6:9).
- Intercede for the Weary and Weak – Many believers are spiritually tired and discouraged—pray for their renewal (Isaiah 40:31).
- Declare Joy Over Your Prayers – Joy breaks oppression. Worship as you intercede, knowing God is working (Psalm 30:5).
Prayer for Intercessors
“Father, strengthen me with Your glorious might. Let my faith endure through trials, and let joy be my strength. I intercede for those who are weary—revive their spirits, renew their faith, and let them press on in confidence. May my prayers never grow weak, and may I trust that You are always moving. In Yeshua’s name, Amen.”
