It has been discussed in the past how a good mental state to be in is one of which one is in continual conversation with God. That’s because that kind of mindset can make it more difficult for us to sin. Think about it, It’s harder to sin if you are constantly keeping God in the forefront of the mind. But our verse today doesn’t necessarily mean we always have to be talking with God, every moment of the day. It simply means that we need to keep supplication to God as a priority, and not come to the conclusion that it really doesn’t matter whether we pray or not, that it really doesn’t affect much. Now let’s read the verse in full: “Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving” (Colossians 4:2, ESV). We see in the second part of the verse that there is a watchfulness that is supposed to take place from us. And interestingly enough, if going through various Bible translations, trying to gain further insight wondering what this might mean, we find that the translators are kind of divided.
