Prayer for bloggers

Our prayers for you are always spilling over into thanksgivings. We can't quit thanking God our Father and Jesus our Messiah for you! We keep getting reports on your steady faith in Christ, our Jesus, and the love you continually extend to all Christians. The lines of purpose in your lives never grow slack, tightly tied as they are to your future in heaven, kept taut by hope.
Be assured that from the first day we heard of you, we haven't stopped praying for you, asking God to give you wise minds and spirits attuned to his will, and so acquire a thorough understanding of the ways in which God works. We pray that you'll live well for the Master, making him proud of you as you work hard in his orchard. As you learn more and more how God works you will learn how to do your work We that pray that you'll have the strength to stick it out over the long haul--not the grim strength of gritting your teeth but the glory-strength God gives. It is a strength that endures the unendurable and spills over into joy, thanking the Father who makes us strong enough to take part in everything bright and beautiful that he has for us. (Taken for Colossians 1, in The Message.)

I want to offer this prayer of the apostle Paul for all the God-bloggers out there who have encouraged me, challenged me, sometimes irritated me, taught me and blessed me.
So for Karen and Marc and Violet--may God give you his strength to carry out your work in this life. May you have joy as you pursue Him. And may you specifically have joy and strength as you blog for Him and His glory.
There are many others--David Wayne, Tim Challies, Randy Brandt, Mark Byron, Rebecca, Bene, Joshua Claybourne, Adrian Warnock, RobbyMac and Messy Christian are only a few. I pray for grace as you blog for God. You have challenged many and affected many, may you have growing impact for the kingdom. May you go about the business of blogging with much wisdom and may their be good fruit. May you speak with grace and humility in the market place of ideas. May we all grow together in wisdom and understanding of God. May god grant each of you wise minds and spirits in touch with His will. May you have growing understand of His ways. May you have health and may your families be blessed.
May God be given glory through Your efforts.
I thank You Lord for the bloggers for You have touched me in many ways. I especially thank You for the ones who have challenged me in my understandings. Strengthen and encourage each one.
In the name of Jesus, amen.
