As Paul prays for the Philippians, he asks not only for provision from God, but that God would transform them so that they may bear the fruit of righteousness. As we pray for ourselves and for one another, we are challenged to pray not simply for our circumstances to improve, but for our character to grow in the midst of our circumstances.
And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
