Re-read Colossians 2:6-7 and reflect
Write your answers to these questions down on your sheet of paper to the following:

- How does being “strengthened in our faith as we were taught” lead to overflowing with thankfulness?
Prayer of Confession and Thanksgiving
Preparation for prayer:
What stands in the way of you being rooted and built up in Jesus? Write your answer on your sheet of paper.
As you meditate on Colossians 2:6-7, what can you find to be thankful for?
Spend time in prayer
You can use the following as a guide
Father, as I come before you, I confess that I’ve not let you build roots and strengthen me. I come today, confessing these things that have stood in the way of my walk with you: (confess the things you answered to what stands between you and being rooted in Christ).
I also come before you thankful for your grace and for how you are here with me now. You hear my prayers, you desire to bring me closer to you. Thank you for your desire to walk with me. Thank you for these things you have done to help me walk with you, for how you can root me in you, and how you continue to strengthen my faith.
Open my eyes to how you seek a walk with me. Show me the ways that you want to help me be closer to you and help me to be overflowing in thankfulness because of you.
