Prayer for Colossae and USA and ME

Colossians 1: 9-10  For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
 10That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
 
Paul prayed that the people of Colossae to be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.  This is my prayer each day.  I pray the Our Father and pray THY WILL BE DONE IN MY LIFE as it is in heaven.  I also pray for WISDOM, not the world's wisdom but God's wisdom.  When I lean on my own wisdom, I miss the big picture.  I see life in the short term, not in the whole.  God sees this and wants me to trust Him.  I struggle with this daily! We have been living our own lives so long, we don't know how to die to self and live for Christ.  This part of discipleship is a daily act of putting God first in our lives all day long.  Out of 24 hours, how much of "my" time have I given to God? I refuse to answer on the grounds that it WILL incriminate me!  Dear Lord, please fill me with all wisdom and spiritual understanding.  Let this wisdom help me to walk worthy of the Lord, pleasing and being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.
