Colossians 4: Prayer

2-4 Pray diligently. Stay alert, with your eyes wide open in gratitude. Don’t forget to pray for us, that God will open doors for telling the mystery of Christ, even while I’m locked up in this jail. Pray that every time I open my mouth I’ll be able to make Christ plain as day to them.

My everyday thoughts are somehow egoistical. If I were Paul, in prison, I would prayer for deliverance. Paul main's concern is to proclaim the gospel. It reminds me the Lord's prayer: "your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.".
The more I admire/praise the Lord, the more I will desire what the Lord aims.
