How to Pray Like an Apostle: Part 6

Praying Through Trials with Hope

Paul never wrote from an ivory tower.

Many of his prayers were penned during seasons of hardship, imprisonment, opposition, and uncertainty.

His second letter to the Thessalonians reveals remarkable confidence in God's faithfulness. Paul prays that God would fulfill every good purpose and every work of faith by His power.

What confidence!

His circumstances never dictated the content of his prayers.

His confidence rested in the character of God.

Following Paul's prayers chronologically allows readers of Deeper Prayer to watch this confidence deepen through every stage of his ministry. The result is a model of prayer that sustains believers through every season of life.

The greatest prayers are often forged in the hardest places.
