praying for others

¹⁶Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be saved. For the unremitting prayer of a just person prevails over many things.

¹And so I beg you, first of all, to make supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings for all men,

¹⁰Likewise, the Lord was moved by the repentance of Job, when he prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave to Job twice as much as he had before.

¹⁸Through every kind of prayer and supplication, pray at all times in spirit, and so be vigilant with every kind of earnest supplication, for all the saints,

²⁶And similarly, the Spirit also helps our weakness. For we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself asks on our behalf with ineffable sighing. ²⁷And he who examines hearts knows what the Spirit seeks, because he asks on behalf of the saints in accordance with God.

⁷If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, then you may ask for whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

⁶Be anxious about nothing. But in all things, with prayer and supplication, with acts of thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God.

¹³And whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

¹³Is any of you sad? Let him pray. Is he even-tempered? Let him sing psalms.

²⁶And similarly, the Spirit also helps our weakness. For we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself asks on our behalf with ineffable sighing.

¹⁴and if my people, over whom my name has been invoked, being converted, will have petitioned me and sought my face, and will have done penance for their wicked ways, then I will heed them from heaven, and I will forgive their sins, and I will heal their land.

¹Now he also told them a parable, that we should continually pray and not cease,

¹⁷Pray without ceasing.

⁷And when praying, do not choose many words, as the pagans do. For they think that by their excess of words they might be heeded.
