Missionaries Prayer Requests

Prayer of safety

I urge you, brothers,
by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit,
to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.
Pray that I may be rescued from the unbelievers in Judea
and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there,
so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed.
The God of peace be with you all.
Amen
- Romans 15:30-33

To be a man of courage

Pray also for me,
that whenever I open my mouth,
words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,
for which I am an ambassador in chains.
Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
- Ephesians 6:19-20


Not to be intimidated
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.
Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
- Matthew 10:28

Opportunities for ministry

And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message,
so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ,
for which I am in chains.
Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should.
Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders;
make the most of every opportunity.
- Colossians 4:3-5

Effectiveness as I preach and witness
Finally, brothers, pray for us that the message of the Lord
may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you.
- II Thessalonians 3:1

Deliverance from wicked men

And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men,
for not everyone has faith.
- II Thessalonians 3:2"

Filled with the knowledge of his will
For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
 ¹⁰That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
 ¹¹Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness;
 ¹²Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
 ¹³Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
 ¹⁴In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
 - Colossians 1:9-14
