We have the privilege of taking the prayers of Paul and using them to pray to our God, passionately petitioning Him with specific requests for specific people. Be intentional when you pray. Pray that you may come to know God better, for an increased knowledge of His will, and for His love to abound in your life.

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. Ephesians 1:17 (NIV)
