Ephesians 6:18-24 Pray for the people of God

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. Tychicus, the dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything, so that you also may know how I am and what I am doing. I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage you. Peace to the brothers and sisters, and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love. Jesus told the woman at the well that there be a day where you will not have a specified place of prayer, but prayer will come in spirit and truth. This is what Paul is repeating here. He tells them to pray at all time in the spirit and pray especially for the people of God including himself. He does not want to lose contact with the converts so he sends an emissary to keep them informed. Tomorrow we will begin our study of Philippians which is called the "little Romans."
