Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. I am sending him and Onesimus to you for the express purpose that you may know about our  (John Mark, Doctor Luke, Aristarchus, Justus, Epaphras, Demas) circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts.  Colossians 4:7-8

He and Onesimus will tell you everything that is happening here. Colossians 4:9

Epaphras is always wrestling in prayer for you that you may stand firm in ALL the will of God, mature, and fully assured. Colossians 4:12

“Do you have even the slightest reliance on anything or anyone other than God? Are you relying on yourself in any manner whatsoever? The more weak and feeble you are, the better.” Oslwald Chambers

Lord, please send others on my behalf to tell all the news about me and the work I do in your will. Please provide for me a “Epaphras” (or several) who will wrestle in prayer for me that I may stand firm in ALL your will and grow in maturity. (Feel free to make this YOUR prayer, too!)
