How to Pray Like an Apostle: Part 2

Praying for Spiritual Discernment

As Paul's ministry expanded, so did the depth of his prayers.

Writing to the believers in Philippi, Paul prayed one of the most practical prayers in the New Testament—that their love would "abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight." Love, Paul understood, is never blind. It is guided by truth and shaped by wisdom.

What a prayer for today's church.

Imagine praying daily that your family, church leaders, and fellow believers would grow in spiritual discernment rather than simply make better decisions.

In Deeper Prayer, each prayer is explored within its historical setting and placed within the unfolding story of Paul's ministry. By following his prayers chronologically, you discover how God was shaping both the churches and the apostle himself.

Paul teaches us that mature prayer produces mature disciples.

His prayers become our prayers, and God's priorities gradually become our own.
