Scripture: Romans 1: 9-10 9For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; 10Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
Observation: Evidently Paul had a prayer list. Verse 10 implies that Paul prayed specifically that he would have the opportunity to come to Rome. It is also implied that he prayed specifically for the church in Rome. Other scriptures corroborate that he prayed for his church plants throughout the world.
Application: It is fascinating to get a glimpse into the Apostle Paul's prayer list. Wouldn't you like to read all of his prayer lists? Would they not be insightful to help us develop our own prayer list. Do you have a prayer list? Do you pray? What do you pray for? Does it sound like what the Apostle Paul prayed for? Another interesting study is to look at what Jesus prayed for.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, help us to be people of prayer. Help us to pray with fervency and passion. Help us to pray like you prayed, and like the Apostle Paul prayed.
