Notes on the Prayers in Paul's Epistles

In the Epistles of the Apostle Paul we may find five prayers for the saints, which follow in remarkable order.
In Eph. 1:15-23: Fundamental principles of truth are shown.
In Eph. 3:14-21: The family relationship, knowing the love of Christ.
In Phil. 1:9-11: Practical walk and blessing.
In Col. 1:9-14: A present deliverance and redemption.
2 Thess. 1:11,12: Counted worthy to suffer. We thus perceive a beautiful succession in these prayers.
