2 Kings 14:23-15:31; Jeremiah 50:1-20; Titus 1:1-2:8
And this I pray … Philippians 1:9a NKJV
Paul was a man of prayer. From his introduction in Acts 9:11, “Behold, he is praying,” he kept praying all through his ministry. Phil. 1:9-11 tells us what he prayed for others. He prayed for their love, to abound more and more; wisdom, to know, discern, and approve what is excellent; witness, to be sincere; testimony, to be without offense; steadfastness, till the Lord comes; growth, to bear fruit to the full; purpose, to the glory and praise of God. This is
what James called the effective fervent prayer of a righteous man (James 5:16) and it avails much. —Rex Trogdon
O Thou, by whom we come to God, the Life, the Truth, the Way,
The path of prayer Thyself hast trod: Lord, teach us how to pray! —James

The hymn at the bottom only credits “James.” James WHO?
Unfortunately the last name was cut off but it is James Montgomery
