The writings done by the apostle Paul while in prison are full of encouragement and instruction. It's interesting to consider the circumstances in which he was living when he stated that he was content with his circumstances and full of joy. So often we have much better surroundings and focus on what is wrong rather than what is right. These letters contain much guidance on how to live this Christian life and what our focus ultimately should be.
