Paul’s Travel Plans
30 Dear brothers and sisters, I urge you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to join in my struggle by praying to God for me. Do this because of your love for me, given to you by the Holy Spirit. 31 Pray that I will be rescued from those in Judea who refuse to obey God. Pray also that the believers there will be willing to accept the donation I am taking to Jerusalem. 32 Then, by the will of God, I will be able to come to you with a joyful heart, and we will be an encouragement to each other.
33 And now may God, who gives us his peace, be with you all. Amen.
Paul realized that as he continued his journey, trouble would cross his path. This did not deter him. Paul asked for prayer from those he was longing to see.
Life is a journey and we will each encounter struggles along the way. Like Paul, do not be hesitant to ask for prayer. God hears and answers the prayers of the faithful. You don’t have to negotiate the troublesome path of life alone.
