Intercession: Solicited by Paul, of the Congregations

Now 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. …

…as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the favor shown us in answer to their prayers.

Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will boldly make known the mystery of the gospel,

…for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it fearlessly, as I should.

Brothers, pray for us as well.

Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread quickly and be held in honor, just as it was with you.

Pray for us; we are convinced that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.
