People in Prayer: Paul Ephesians 1: 15-23

Key aspects Why does Paul pray? How does Paul pray? What does Paul pray for?

Why does Paul pray? Because God is incredible! (v3-14) Because he’s heard of the faith and love of the believers

How does Paul pray? Doesn’t stop giving thanks (v16) & keeps asking (v17) Not crisis management Not for specific circumstances

What does Paul pray for? Three new realisations for the believers: “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so that you may know the hope to which He has called you.” “… that you may know the riches of His glorious inheritance in His holy people.” “… that you may know His incomparably great power for us who believe.”

God’s power God raised Jesus God exalted Jesus to the highest place No other ruler, authority (power) can compare

God’s presence Jesus (the head) and us (believers) are intimately united Christ’s home is within us (we are His address) Together we’re being built into God’s living Temple

Four takeaways We should pray for our fellow believers Why we pray is important Partly because of who God is We should keep going We should pray big prayers for each other
