Colossians 4:2-6

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us too, that God may open a door to our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversations be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

In this passage Paul is writing to the Colossians while he awaits trials in jail. He is asking for their prayers for himself and others followers of Christ who are sharing the message of Christ. He is urging them to devote themselves to prayer, asking them to pray that the message of Christ might be spread freely and openly. He is also asking that they pray the the Holy Spirit work through him that he will be able to know what to say to those he is preaching. He then goes on to tell the Colossians that they need to make the most of every opportunity because you never know who might be watching. That they should speak to others with grace and understanding.
This request from Paul to the Colossians is something that we can do today. We should be praying for those Christians who are being persecuted today all over the world, just for spreading Christ message. We should be praying for those missionaries who are doing the Lords work every day of their lives. We should be praying for "secret churches" who have to meet privately to share the gospel knowing that if they are caught, they will be put to death. We should also be praying for ourselves that the Holy Spirit works in us and through us, that we may be able to share Christ with those we encounter, and do it in the way necessary to the listener.
We should be making the most of every encounter in life we have, we do not know the impact it may have on others. In high school, with the help of a few friends, I started a group called:A.R.K. It stood for acts of random kindness. If you have ever watched Even Almighty then you will know where I stole the name from haha. But the point of the group was that you never know how one event might effect and change somebodies life. An event as simple as opening the door for somebody could change their attitude for the entire day making their day more productive and positive. Eventually, through the grace of God the group was developed into the high schools community service program. We are told to make the most of every opportunity because you never know what kind of Christ encounter we might have. We do not know with who we will have the opportunity to share the gospel with today. Pray that the Holy Spirit moves in you to share the gospel with somebody you might not of thought of before
I challenge you for the rest of the week to pray, seriously pray for those who are being persecuted for following Christ. Then pray for the Holy Spirit to work through you, moving you to share the gospel with someone, or to be more Christ like. That the Holy Spirit works through you that people might look at you and think, there is something seriously different about the person, I like it, I wonder what it is.

I pray for you and your walk with Christ.
