2 ^aContinue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it ^bwith thanksgiving;

3 ^ameanwhile praying also for us, that God would ^bopen to us a door for the word, to speak ^cthe mystery of Christ, ^dfor which I am also in chains,

Colossians 4:2

Continue in prayer - That is, do not neglect it; observe it at all stated times; maintain the spirit of prayer, and embrace all proper occasions to engage in it; compare the Luke 18:1 note; Ephesians 6:18 note; I Thessalonians 4:17 note.

And watch in the same with thanksgiving - Watch for favorable opportunities; watch that your mind may be in a right frame when you pray: and watch, that when your mind is in a right frame you may not neglect to pray; see the Ephesians 6:18 note; Philippians 4:6.
