Paul's Prayer to Know God Better

Ephesians 1:15-23

​

It was customary in ancient letters to include a prayer for the readers and Paul's prayer for the Ephesians was more than a conventional prayer. It was in a spirit of true Christianity.

​

He doesn't ask God to grant material possessions. Instead, he asked for spiritual blessings. He didn't ask that God would give them something, but instead, he asked that God would reveal to them the things that he had already blessed them with.

​

For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.

Ephesians 1:15-16
