​1. An Encouragement for Prayer/Fellow Workers 
 

Today's Passage: Colossians 4:1-6 

Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.
​
Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).

7th strategy.
Repetitive Reading
​

• Begin by getting your heart ready to receive the words that God has laid down for us on this page. Ask Him to give you what you need to hear. Ask Him to give you the mind of Christ to be able to remember this strategy and continue it throughout the day.
• Read the passage completely. Ask God to give you one verse that resonates in your heart today.
• Write the verse down on a pad of paper, sticky note, or even on your phone in notes or your calendar.
• Pray and ask God to give you a number of times to repeat this verse throughout the day. Write that number underneath the verse.
• Or ask Him if it would be better for you to read and repeat the verse three times and then do that again later in the day. Asking how many times to have this little repetitive session and writing that down under the verse.
• Every time you repeat the verse mark a tally under the verse.
• Do this throughout the day. Try to reach your set goal or above it.
• At the end of the day attempt to speak the verse without looking at it.
• Before bed repeat the verse again either rereading it off of the paper, or quoting it from memory. Either is a glory to God.
• And remember, God gleans great pleasure when you stop and thank Him for being with your throughout your day.

1. Masters, be just and fair to your slaves. Remember that you also have a Master — in heaven.
2. Devote yourselves to prayer with an open mind and a thankful heart. 
3. Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about his mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains.
4. Pray that I will proclaim this message as clearly as I should.

5. Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity.
6. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response to everyone.
Colossians 4:1-6 NLT
