Colossians 1:15-17
2 prayers from this passage, for betrayal, fear & anxiety
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Colossians 1:15-17 (NIV)
What was going on when this was written
Often read as an early hymn about Christ holding all things together. It is a claim about the world rather than a promise that your own life will feel held together.
