Yesterday I gave you Biblical prayers that Paul outlined in his epistles to the different churches and to people. Here today are some more prayers that we can pray. "If my people who are called by my name would humble themselves and pray"....Have you?  Did you? Can you be called by His name and not pray?
 
Now's a good time to start!!
 
Ephesians Chapter Three

For this reason I kneel before You, Father, from whom Your whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of Your glorious riches You may strengthen _________ with power through Your Spirit in _________ 's inner being, so that Christ may dwell in _________ 's heart through faith. And I pray, Father God, that _________ will be rooted and established in Your love, that _________ may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ for _________ , and that _________ may know this love that surpasses knowledge-- that _________ may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to You, O Lord, who are able to do immeasurably more for _________ than all that I ask or imagine, according to Your power that is at work within _________ , to You be glory in _________ , and in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. In Jesus Name! (Ephesians 3:14-21, NIV).

1 Thessalonians Chapter Three

Lord, make _________'s love increase and overflow for his or her fellowsaints and family and for everyone else, just as my love does for _________. Strengthen _________'s heart so that _________ will be blameless and holy in the presence of You, Father God, when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones. In Jesus Name! (1 Thessalonians 3:12,13, NIV).

1 Thessalonians Chapter Five

I pray that You God, Yourself, the God of peace, may sanctify _________ through and through. I pray that _________ 's whole spirit, soul and body will be kept blameless until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. God, You are the One who is calling _________ and You will be faithful to do it. In Jesus Name! (1 Thessalonians 5:23,24, NIV).

1 Timothy Chapter Two

First of all, Father, I make requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving for everyone (Those under my care, or my downlines: Lord, for my children __________, those under my care at church __________, those under my care at work __________,). Father I also pray for kings and all those in authority (My Pastor __________, President __________, Governor __________, Congressman __________, Senators__________ and __________, my Supervisors or uplines at work __________, my husband/wife __________, that each of them I've mentioned, Lord, may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases You, God our Savior, for You want them. And I pray that all these men and women I've mentioned to You will be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time. In Jesus Name! (1 Timothy 2:1-6, NIV).

If every believer everywhere in the world would merely accept personal responsibility for regularly praying for all their own:
 
UPLINES of authority (in just their own family, in just their own church, in just their own company or career) -AND- all the
 
DOWNLINES of people under their own care (in just their own family, in just their own church, in their own company or career)... EVERY PERSON born onto planet earth would be receiving prayer and be mentioned by name before God. Wow!
 
Downlines Responsibility: 1Sa 12:23 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way.
 
Uplines Responsibility: 1 Tim 2:1,2 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone--for kings and all those in authority.
 
There are people that you know and love and it may be; the only thing     keeping them, is your prayer before the Lord.
 
God bless you and yours as we pray for all of you!
