Colossians 4:2 Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiving.
Want to know how to live an Easter life? Want to know how to live now that we know death isn't final? Here are the apostle Paul's instructions: devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiving. Keep praying. Pray for yourselves, pray for others, pray for the world, pray in thanksgiving, and pray in awe at the wonder of God and God's world.
There are many types of prayers that are acceptable and good to use. But one we sometimes forget and one that seems so appropriate this week is a prayer of thanksgiving. That's what Paul is talking about. Because how do you respond to the gift of eternal life? Saying thanks is a really good place to start.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
