Praying for Spiritual Growth

Feb 2, 2025    Dr. Samuel D. Tootle III

In part 2 of our series Letters from a Roman Jail, we dive into the Apostle Paul's powerful prayers for the Ephesians. Even while imprisoned, Paul’s focus was on the spiritual growth of believers, not his own suffering. His prayers teach us that prayer is more than asking for help; it’s about deepening our relationship with God, gaining wisdom, aligning with His will, and experiencing His power at work in our lives. As we reflect on Paul’s example, we’re challenged to pursue a prayer life that goes beyond requests, seeking a closer communion with God and a fuller understanding of His purpose for us.
