One of the chief characteristics of Paul's letters is his constant appeal for the prayers of his converts. In Ephesians 6:18, he writes: "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit… for all the saints -- and for me that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel."
Again in Colossians 4:3,4: "Meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of God… that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak."
Christians should pray regularly for their pastors, missionaries and evangelists, that God would throw open doors of opportunity and enable them to preach Christ courageously and clearly.
