"I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all Saints; that the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus...at the same time, prepare a guest room for me, for I am hoping that through your prayers I will be graciously given to you." (Philemon 4-6, 22)
The great Apostle Paul not only relied on the prayers of others, but he regularly interceded for others in prayer. If I lived in those days, what a blessing it would have been to know that I was on Paul's prayer list. There's nothing the devil fears more than God's people praying for one another. As Paul regularly reminded others to pray for him with great confidence in the power of intercession, let us strive in prayer for each other. Keep me on your prayer list.
“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.” Psalms 1:1-3
