Prayer that Passes the Test by Michael Rowntree (Colossians 4:2-4)

Have you ever felt like your prayer life was more of a duty than a delight—or simply found yourself too distracted to stay consistent?

In this message on Colossians 4:2–4, Michael Rowntree unpacks Paul’s instructions for a resilient prayer life, showing that a lack of vigilance and gratitude often leaves our spiritual lives vulnerable to the "tests" of life.

Yet, he reminds us that powerful prayer is found in being "watchful" and "thankful," inviting us to move beyond a wandering mind and into a focused, mission-minded conversation with God. This message calls us to persevere in prayer, not just for our own needs, but for the open doors and the clarity of the Gospel in the world around us.
