'Pray' in the Bible

I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.

I pray that the perception of your mind may be enlightened so you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the glorious riches of His inheritance among the saints,

I pray that He may grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power in the inner man through His Spirit,

and that the Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love,

Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert in this with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints.

Pray also for me, that the message may be given to me when I open my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel.

For this I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I might be bold enough in Him to speak as I should.
