In this message we enter into our second study of the Apostle Paul’s prayer for the Philippian believers. As we do, our focus has been on the man praying. What made Paul the prayer warrior he was? What moves his heart and shapes his life? Last message, we saw a man who was Christ-centered, Christ-controlled, and Christ-consumed. We will now look into the heart of Paul in his love for the Philippian believers; a love that always leads to praying for others effectively and affectionately.

Thought of the day—
When our prayers lives begin to drift into a dangerous formality of mere words and imbalanced with many petitions for ourselves and little praise to God, stop and consider what prayer truly is. Prayer is the language of love. It is God’s gift to us to commune with Him; to enjoy His presence and adore His Person. There is one word which will always awaken us from the slumber of cold and formal prayer. It is the word “Father.” Ponder this relationship we have with the eternal God and prayer will be a delight pursued not a duty performed with dullness or neglected all together (John 17:1-26).
