Paul Prays and Gives Thanks

We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you.

That’s why we have not stopped praying for you. We have been praying for you since the day we heard about you. We keep asking God to fill you with the knowledge of what he wants. We pray he will give you the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives.

Then you will be able to lead a life that is worthy of the Lord. We pray that you will please him in every way. So we want you to bear fruit in every good thing you do. We pray that you will grow to know God better.

We want you to be very strong, in keeping with his glorious power. We want you to be patient. We pray that you will never give up.
