3.I thank my God every time I remember you.
4.In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy
5.because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,
6.being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
7.It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me.
8.God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
9.And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,
10.so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ,

That is an amazing bunch of verses. The part that really sticks out to me is pray with Joy. Sometimes I'll pray just with pure joy smiling as I go to God. Its amazing cause it doesn't happen every time. I mean allot of times I don't pray out of Joy. But Paul is right we should always pray to God with Joy. Because why should we not? I mean prayer is a form of worship to the Lord. I also love the part where he says that God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ. I mean that is powerful. We always kinda gloss over praying to God, just as a general thing. But God hears us. The creator of heaven and earth. Our rock, salvation, ever so faithful loving God. Its amazing. He hears us and how Paul says that God can testify it is just so amazing.
