Friday, February 10—Ephesians 6:18-20
praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
- praise God for the privilege of prayer for growing in intimacy with Him and engaging you in the advancement of His kingdom
- praise God that He has established you as an ambassador of the gospel, holding out reconciliation with Him through Jesus Christ
- pray that God would pour out upon us a Spirit of grace and supplication, making us a praying people, a praying church—a mighty force for the strengthening and lengthening of His everlasting kingdom
- pray that we would be devoted to fervent, faithful and expectant prayer for ourselves and others
- pray that God would grant us a profound awareness and conviction of the value of our prayers in His hands
- pray that God would stir us to continual prayer, seeking His glory in all things, at all times, in all ways
