Note to those who visit my page:
In Ephesians 6:19, St. Paul asks, "pray also for me, that speech may be given me to open my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Gospel for which I am an ambassador in chains, so that I may have the courage to speak as I must". As he is writing this, he is literally bound in chains in a Roman cell. St. Paul is telling us, no matter where we are in our lives, that God's will for us is happening now! It is not after we achieve a certain degree or job, it is now. St. Paul is urging that we put this prayer at the top of our own prayer lists: to be strengthened to fearlessly proclaim the gospel. I pray that we may reflect on this prayer everyday as we live out God’s will for us.
