Epaphras, who is [one] of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

"Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you; but I will teach you the good and the right way.

Yes, you cast off fear, And restrain prayer before God.

For what is the hope of the hypocrite, Though he may gain [much,] If God takes away his life?

Will he delight himself in the Almighty? Will he always call on God?

As for me, I will call upon God, And the LORD shall save me.

Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice.

In return for my love they are my accusers, But I [give myself to] prayer.

Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,

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

praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints --

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, 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. The spirit indeed [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak."

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

"Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man."

But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.

rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been 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 do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
