Prayer is the source of strength and power in the church and in the lives of every Christian. More is accomplished by prayer than the world has ever dreamed. The power that Paul had for ministry was largely due to his praying and the prayers of the saints in the various churches that he was used to establish. His pryaer for the saints at Philippi provides a good example of how Christians ought to pray for one another. Paul prayed that their love would abound for one another, for spiritual discernment, for sincerity and holiness of life.
