Paul's letter to the Ephesians reveals how prayer serves as a bridge connecting us to both God's people and God's Spirit. Paul commends the Ephesians for their faith in Jesus and love for all believers, reflecting the two greatest commandments. True faith goes beyond intellectual belief to become an internal conviction that leads to action, while love for all saints challenges us to care for even difficult people. When we struggle to love fellow believers, prayer becomes the solution that softens our hearts and changes our perspective. Paul prays specifically for the Ephesians to receive the spirit of wisdom and revelation through the Holy Spirit, who serves as our Helper, Teacher, and guide into truth.
