Strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf, that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints, so that by God's will I may come to you with joy and be refreshed in your company.
Paul asked the Romans to pray for a few specific things.
He was not delivered from the unbelievers in Judea,
And did not make it to Spain, as he had hoped.
John tells us that if we ask according to God’s will, he hears us,
And if he hears us, we know that we have the petitions we asked.
Yet here is Paul, faithful, prophetic, mouthpiece of God,
Praying for fruitful ministry
And God says no.
