Paul's Prayer Life | Praying Like The Apostle
Shared on: May 29, 2023
Reflecting on the inspired prayers found in Scripture is one helpful tool we can use to bolster our prayer life. One of Paul's most well-known prayers come from Ephesians 1 where Paul pleads with the Father to enlighten the minds of the people of Ephesus in the knowledge of the Lord, Jesus Christ. This Lord's Day, proclaim to your congregation the power of prayer that is absolutely necessary for a healthy Christian life.
