• ​Conclusion:
  In Ephesians 3:14 and 15 we see Paul on his knees praying to the Father.
  What is interesting is that the Greek of the word FATHER is used in verse 14, referenced in verse 15, but the emphasis is different in verse 15; it is on the Father's family, His Clan, His children.  The scripture reveals that we are God’s offspring, born into His magnificent family.  The Bible has so much to say about the subject of prayer.  If we do not express thanksgiving at every time of year, it is not really effective at this Thanksgiving season, just as is true about our relationship with the Lord in the Christmas season; it should be Christmas all year.  We all have access to the Throne of Grace, and we should appreciate and utilize this magnificent privilege every day of the year.
