Prayers of Paul
Col 1:3-14; 1Tim 2:1-2; Rom 11:33-36
What is prayer? Two-way communication.
Paul’s prayers often were congregational prayers as he wrote to various churches.
Our prayer quite often reveals our Doctrine of God or how we treat God
ACTS A = adoration, C= confession, T = thanksgiving; S = supplication or intercession is a good model to follow
1. Col 1:3-14
Both a prayer of thanksgiving and intercession. He prays for spiritual wisdom and understanding and to be empowered. Paul constantly prays with joy and thanksgiving
2. 1 Tim 2: 1-2
An encouragement to pray for all people and especially for kings and those in authority; requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving.
3. Romans 11:33-36
A doxology prayer, an exclamation of the sovereignty of God and not knowing all his mysterious ways of working in our lives and in the world. A confession of humility and that his ways is not always our ways
Concluding with the familiar Trinitarian blessing or doxology from 2 Cor 13:14.
