 Yet that's what Paul's prayer focused on. Think about this in relation to Solomon. Solomon came to my mind when I was going through this. Because the Lord did come to him and say whatever you want. And don't you love his answer? Know what it was? He asked for something that would allow him to fulfill God's purpose in his life. That's what he wanted. Remember, the Lord was strict. You didn't ask for riches. You didn't ask for honor. He wanted to do whatever God wanted him to do to the best of his ability.
