Prayer of Thanksgiving

Ephesians 1:15–23
Excerpt
In the prison prayers of Paul (Eph. 1:15–23; 3:14–21; Phil. 1:9–11; Col. 1:9–12), we discover the blessings he wanted his converts to enjoy. In none of these prayers does Paul request material things. His emphasis is on spiritual perception and real Christian character. He does not ask God to give them what they do not have but rather prays that God will reveal to them what they already have. More
