A devotion on the Prayer for the Colossians

A few days ago, I posted The Prayer for the Colossians, from Col 1: 3 - 20.
Today, I'd like to point out from this passage that Paul and Timothy prayed for the Colossian brethren in the following way:

(1) they gave thanks to the God and Father of the Master Yeshua Messiah (Iesous Christos), always praying for the Colossian brethren. (v3)

(2) they did not cease to pray for them, asking God:
(2a)- that they may be filled
- - - with the full knowledge of God's will
- - - in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, (v9)

(2b) that they may walk worthily of the Master
- fully pleasing,
- in every good work being fruitful,
- and increasing to the knowledge of God,
- in all might being made mighty
- - - according to the power of His glory,
- - - to all endurance and long-suffering with joy. (v10,11)

(2c) that they may give thanks to God, the Father,
- who made them qualified
- - - for the participation of the inheritance of the saints in the light,
- who rescued them out of the authority of the darkness,
- who translated them into the reign of the Son of His love, (v12,13)

(3) In this prayer, Paul and Timothy also affirmed that:
- the Son is the IMAGE of the invisible God, the firstborn of God in all creation. (v15)
- the first-born out of the dead, (v18)
- it pleased God, the Father, that all fullness should dwell in the Son (v19)
- and it pleased the Father to reconcile all things
- - - whether in heaven and on earth
- - - to Himself,
- - - through His Son, through the blood of his cross (v20)

Dear Christian brothers and sisters, let us likewise affirm and give thanks to God, our Father:
- that our Father is the God and Father of our Master Yeshua Messiah (Iesou Christo)
- that our Father has made us qualified to share in the inheritance of saints,
- that our Father has rescued us out of the authority of darkness,
- that our Father has translated us into the reign of His beloved Son, Yeshua, and
- that our Father is pleased to reconcile all things to Himself through His Son.

Indeed, only our Father in Heaven has done all these things.
Blessed be the Name of our Heavenly Father!
He is the Only True God.
