Paul said, "I want men in every place to pray" (1Ti 2:8) and prayers "be made on behalf of all men" (:1). He was "always offering prayer with joy in my prayer for you all" (Php 1:4). He reported "unceasingly I make mention of you, always in my prayers" (Ro 1:9-10). "We have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will" (Col 1:9). He said to pray "in everything" (Php 4:6) "at all times" (Eph 6:18) "without ceasing" (1Th 5:17). Jesus taught, "'That at all times they ought to pray and not lose heart'" (Lk 18:1). Peter said "be of sound judgment and sober in spirit for the purpose of prayer" (1Pe 4:7). "The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much" (Ja 5:16).
Jesus taught them to pray, "'Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name'" (Mt 6:9). He said to ask, "'Give us this day our daily bread'" (:11) "lf you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it'" (Jn 14:14). Paul instructed "be anxious for nothing" (Php 4:6) Jesus taught to pray to "'not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil'" (Mt 6:13). He said, "'Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak'" (26:41). You will "encounter various trials" (Ja 1:2) but God "with the temptation will provide the way of escape" (1Co 10:13).
