in my prayers at all times; and I pray that now at last by God’s will the way may be opened for me to come to you.

in my prayers. I pray that now at last it may be God’s plan to open the way for me to visit you.

always in my prayers, asking that somehow by God’s will I may now at last succeed in coming to you.

One of the things I always pray for is the opportunity, God willing, to come at last to see you.

always in my prayers requesting if perhaps now, at last by the will of God, I will succeed in coming to you.

making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you.

making request, if by any means now at length I may be prospered by the will of God to come unto you.

Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in prayers to God on my behalf.Pray that I may be rescued from the unbelievers in Judea, that my ministry to Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,and that, by God’s will, I may come to you with joy and be refreshed together with you.

but he said farewell and added,“ I’ll come back to you again, if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.

Meanwhile, also prepare a guest room for me, since I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.

Instead, you should say,“ If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”

After these events, Paul resolved by the Spirit to pass through Macedonia and Achaia and go to Jerusalem.“ After I’ve been there,” he said,“ It is necessary for me to see Rome as well.”

And I urge you all the more to pray that I may be restored to you very soon.

as we pray very earnestly night and day to see you face to face and to complete what is lacking in your faith?Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you.

So we wanted to come to you— even I, Paul, time and again— but Satan hindered us.

That is why I have been prevented many times from coming to you.But now I no longer have any work to do in these regions, and I have strongly desired for many years to come to youwhenever I travel to Spain. For I hope to see you when I pass through and to be assisted by you for my journey there, once I have first enjoyed your company for a while.

But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out not the talk, but the power of those who are arrogant.

Since he would not be persuaded, we said no more except,“ The Lord’s will be done.”

Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

When it was decided that we were to sail to Italy, they handed over Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Imperial Regiment.When we had boarded a ship of Adramyttium, we put to sea, intending to sail to ports along the coast of Asia. Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with us.The next day we put in at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul kindly and allowed him to go to his friends to receive their care.When we had put out to sea from there, we sailed along the northern coast of Cyprus because the winds were against us.After sailing through the open sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we reached Myra in Lycia.There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.Sailing slowly for many days, with difficulty we arrived off Cnidus. Since the wind did not allow us to approach it, we sailed along the south side of Crete off Salmone.With still more difficulty we sailed along the coast and came to a place called Fair Havens near the city of Lasea.By now much time had passed, and the voyage was already dangerous. Since the Day of Atonement was already over, Paul gave his adviceand told them,“ Men, I can see that this voyage is headed toward disaster and heavy loss, not only of the cargo and the ship but also of our lives.”But the centurion paid attention to the captain and the owner of the ship rather than to what Paul said.Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided to set sail from there, hoping somehow to reach Phoenix, a harbor on Crete facing the southwest and northwest, and to winter there.When a gentle south wind sprang up, they thought they had achieved their purpose. They weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete.But before long, a fierce wind called the“ northeaster” rushed down from the island.Since the ship was caught and unable to head into the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.After running under the shelter of a little island called Cauda, we were barely able to get control of the skiff.After hoisting it up, they used ropes and tackle and girded the ship. Fearing they would run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the drift-anchor, and in this way they were driven along.Because we were being severely battered by the storm, they began to jettison the cargo the next day.On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.For many days neither sun nor stars appeared, and the severe storm kept raging. Finally all hope was fading that we would be saved.Since they had been without food for a long time, Paul then stood up among them and said,“ You men should have followed my advice not to sail from Crete and sustain this damage and loss.Now I urge you to take courage, because there will be no loss of any of your lives, but only of the ship.For last night an angel of the God I belong to and serve stood by meand said,‘ Don’t be afraid, Paul. It is necessary for you to appear before Caesar. And indeed, God has graciously given you all those who are sailing with you.’So take courage, men, because I believe God that it will be just the way it was told to me.But we have to run aground on some island.”When the fourteenth night came, we were drifting in the Adriatic Sea, and about midnight the sailors thought they were approaching land.They took soundings and found it to be a hundred twenty feet deep; when they had sailed a little farther and sounded again, they found it to be ninety feet deep.
