In my annual read-through-the-Bible program, I recently arrived at Philemon, and was reminded again of the number of times that Paul asked for prayer for his work... more than once he made it clear that his life and ministry were totally in the hands of praying friends...
I find Philemon 1 and 22 stunning when restated together:
"I am prisoner of the Roman Empire; would you prepare me a room at your house for me to stay, so it will be ready when you pray me out of here??"
