“Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving” -Colossians 4:2
In any military context, the guard is the person responsible for protecting a group of soldiers. The post requires him to be “alert” and not distracted or inattentive. Christians who pray need to think in a like manner. Keep or stay alert in prayer because it is important and healthy for the child of God. Furthermore, staying alert with an attitude of gratefulness can be difficult in tough times. However, thankfulness will put a prayer life back on schedule. Whatever the situation, you and I have much to be thankful for.
In your life, what can you give God thanks for right now?
