“We pray that you will lead a life that is worthy of the Lord. We pray that you will praise Him in every way. So we want you to bear fruit in every good thing you do. We want you to grow to know God better. We want you to be very strong, in keeping with His glorious power. We want you to be patient. Never give up. Be joyful as you give thanks to the Father." (Colossians 1:10-12)
