Conclusion

Study questions:  How does Paul refer to the Trinity?  Why does he refer to Christ first? Why is remembering our past blessings important?  Why is prayer so important?  What was the fruit Paul wanted in their lives from this prayer?  What are some of the means of grace God uses in giving us these blessings?
