Have you ever thought about what people ask for when you ask them what you can pray for them about?  Most of the time you will hear requests for earthly things.  Not that those are necessarily bad or do not have merit.   But, really, when was the last time you heard someone ask you to pray for them that they might know GOD more, as HE is revealed in HIS Word?

One area we as believers need to get back to is our FIRST LOVE and how HE is known in HIS Word!  We need to know GOD more and more so we may grow in HIM.  Our prayers should be reflective of that.  


             9      For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
          10      so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
          11      strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously
          12      giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light.

(Colossians 1:9–12)
