Epaphras greets you, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, always struggling for you in his prayers, that you may stand mature and complete in all the will of God.

On account of this we also, since the day we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that you may be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

And far be it from me to sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you; but I will serve the Lord, and show you the good and the right way.

Have you not cast off fear, and accomplished such words before the Lord?

For what is the hope of the ungodly, that he holds to it? Will he indeed trust in the Lord and be saved?

has he any confidence before Him? Or will [God] hear him as he calls upon Him?

I cried to God, and the Lord hearkened to me.

Evening and morning and at noon I will declare and make known [my needs]; and He shall hear my voice.

Instead of loving me, they falsely accused me; but I continued to pray.

Then He spoke a parable to them, that one must always pray and not lose heart,

rejoicing in hope, enduring in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;

through every prayer and petition, praying in every season in the Spirit, being watchful to this same thing with all perseverance and petition concerning all the saints--

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition, along with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

Pray without ceasing!

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. Indeed the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

Take heed, stay awake and pray; for you do not know when the time is.

Watch therefore, praying always that you may be counted worthy to escape everything that is about to happen, and to stand before the Son of Man."

Now the end of all things is at hand; therefore be of sound mind and self-controlled in your prayers.

having been rooted and built up in Him and being established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

And whatever you may do in word or deed, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
