And pray for me, too. Ask God to give me the right words so I can boldly explain God’s mysterious plan that the Good News is for Jews and Gentiles alike. 20 I am in chains now, still preaching this message as God’s ambassador. So pray that I will keep on speaking boldly for him, as I should.  21 To bring you up to date, Tychicus will give you a full report about what I am doing and how I am getting along. He is a beloved brother and faithful helper in the Lord’s work.

Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. 

PRAY

The call is to pray.  Pray in belief.  You are precious to the Lord.  You are important to Jesus.  As you pray know that He has you on His heart and mind therefore you can be encouraged to know that Jesus loves you and is standing there with you right now.  Pray.

Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.
