Learning to Pray from the Apostles Prayers (Philemon 6)

As mentioned in my initial post for this series, I intend to blog through a number of New Testament texts where the Apostles are either praying or reflecting on their prayers. In noting how the Apostles prayed, it will help us to conform our prayers so that they are more biblical.

Today's text is Philemon 6:

and I pray that the fellowship of your faith may become effective through the knowledge of every good thing which is in you for Christ’s sake.

Prayer Focus: Petition God that fellowship might be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ.

I relied heavily on Douglas Moo's Pillar commentary for an understanding of this complex verse.
