December 7, 2012 Ephesians 6:19-20

Ephesians 6:19-20 19 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, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

Sitting in prison.  Deprived of liberty.  Most likely beaten and hungry.  Does Paul pray for freedom?  Is his prayer request for an improvement in his personal situation?    

Paul prays for two things during his imprisonment.  Others and his ability to spread the gospel.  WOW!  No personal prayers other than that he "fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel."
