Colossians 4:2–6 “Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.”
3 Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about his mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains. 4 Pray that I will proclaim this message as clearly as I should.
5 Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. 6 Let your conversation be gracious and attractive[a] so that you will have the right response for everyone.
Nehemiah 1:4
4 So it was, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned for many days; I was fasting and praying before the God of heaven.
1 Thessalonians 5:16–22 “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances… test everything; hold fast what is good… abstain from every form of evil.”
Matthew 26:39
He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”
