Prayer is a great gift that any Christian can give, regardless of their circumstances. The Bible commands believers to pray for all people, including fellow Christians, the lost, the sick, and even their enemies. Christians are also admonished to pray for those in authority and for the ministries of those who proclaim the gospel.

Yeah. Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Whom to pray for. I exhort, therefore, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, I Timothy two one. Let no one ever say that he has nothing to pray about, or that he doesn't know how to pray in God's will.
for it is always in the will of God to pray for other people. This is a great gift that any Christian can give, even if he is penniless or bedridden. there are none so poor as to be unable to afford such a gift, nor can even the wealthiest give a finer gift. Note just a few of the relevant commandments to believers. First, We are to pray for all fellow Christians, praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.
We should also pray for the lost. Jesus commanded: the harvest truly is great. But the laborers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he would send forth laborers into his harvest. There is a special command to pray for sick disciples.
Pray one for another, that ye may be healed. We are even told to pray for our enemies. Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. We are told to pray for Christian brethren who sin a sin which is not unto death. though if the sin has already led to physical death, there is no warrant for further prayer in that case.
Finally, We are especially admonished to pray for kings and for all that are in authority. and for the ministries of those who proclaim the gospel. In short, in the words of our text, we should offer up supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving for all people everywhere. For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5.
