Apostle Paul, more than once in his writings, thanks God for praying for certain people. We know that when we thank someone for something, it is because of that person had something to do with what we are thankful for. So, it seems that Apostle Paul considered that it was actually God who would give him prayer points.
In another passage he says that “we are laborers together with God”, or “laboring fervently for you in prayers”. Isn’t this wonderful, this shift in mentality in prayer is quite liberating. It is no longer trying to convince God, but working with Him to bring something into manifestation.
