Bible Question: How do I pray for others? |
Bible Answer: Dear Cina, Welcome to the forum! That is a good question. I am glad that you are thinking about how to be devoted in prayer for others. Let's look and see how the Scriptures would direct us to pray. See, for example, how Paul prays for people. For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you [CONTINUOUSLY] and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will [FOR INSIGHT INTO GOD'S PURPOSES] in all spiritual wisdom [FOR WISDOM] and understanding [FOR COMPREHENSION], so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects [FOR LIVES HONORING OUR SOVEREIGN], bearing fruit in every good work [FOR GOD GLORIFYING ACTIONS] and increasing in the knowledge of God [FOR GROWTH IN THEOLOGY]; strengthened with all power [THROUGH GRACE], according to His glorious might [ARISING FROM THE LORD], for the attaining of all steadfastness [PERSEVERANCE] and patience [ENDURANCE]; joyously [DELIGHTED IN GODS GRACE INDEPENDENT OF CIRCUMSTANCES] giving thanks to the Father [GRATEFUL TO THE LORD OUR PROVIDER], who has qualified us [JUSTIFICATION THROUGH CHRIST] to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light [PERFECTION OF THE KINGDOM]. For He rescued us from the domain of darkness [REDEEMED], and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son [REGENERATION], in whom we have redemption [ATONEMENT], the forgiveness of sins [DIVINE PARDON]. (Colossians 1:9-14 NASB) Sorry for whipping this out so hastily... but its almost bed time. :-) In Him, Doc |
