Pleasant Words from the Gospel

To Pray

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
(Colossians, 4:2)

Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy?

Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should
call... to pray over him... in the name of Lord. And the prayer of-
fered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will
raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore ...
pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a
righteous man is powerful and effective. (James, 5:13-16)

God, whom I serve with my whole heart... is my witness how
constantly I remember you 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. I long to see you so that I may impart to you
some spiritual gift [to get stronger in the spiritual sense] to make
you strong. (Romans, 1:9-11)

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. (Ro-
mans, 12:12)

Pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is
God's will for you in Christ Jesus... (1 Thessalonians, 5:17-19)

Brothers, pray for us. (1 Thessalonians, 5:25)
