Scripture: Romans 1:8-15
Observation:
Here in this passage, Paul is talking to the Romans, telling them of his desire to visit them and minister to them. Why? So that they may be strengthened and mutually encouraged in their faith.
Notice, though, that while Paul was not able to visit the church in Rome, he is constantly praying for them.
Application:
What I see here is the value of prayer. Paul is passionate for his ministry, both evangelism and discipleship. He is writing to encourage the Roman church. He is expressing his desire to serve them and his inability to do so, due to other demands and yet, the first things he says is that he thanks God for them and that he is constantly praying for them, particularly that he will be able to visit them.
