It's as if people are afraid to get too "personal" in their prayers, and sometimes, of course, privacy and other boundaries must be respected. But you've got to get a bit personal in order to really care for someone and <I>really</I> pray for them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9661811.post-1122034384200260502005-07-22T08:13:00.000-04:002005-07-22T08:13:00.000-04:00An excellent and useful post.

Though my only disagreement is that the only place that we are commanded to pray for non-believers is Romans 10 (though, looking it over, I guess your point was pryaing that people would come to faith...). I would also add in 1 Timothy 2:1 - even staying away from the controversy among some circles of 2:4, the passage seems to clearly teach to pray for the leaders of our countries...which during Paul's day could hardly be called believers.<BR/><BR/>Not that this detracts from your main point at all - which was excellent.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9661811.post-1121619553427902252005-07-17T12:59:00.000-04:002005-07-17T12:59:00.000-04:00This is a great article, Martin, thank you for pos...This is a great article, Martin, thank you for posting it. I have never done a study on NT prayer in that way and it has certainly revealed to me how skewed my own emphases are. This will give me something to work on this week.<BR/><BR/>Nice work :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9661811.post-1121615519422363942005-07-17T11:51:00.000-04:002005-07-17T11:51:00.000-04:00Very good point Dr. LaBar.

I think all of us at one point or another get into the habit of praying to God only to ask for help when we need it for ourselves, when we should be praying for our fellow Christians. Its something I definately need to work on.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.com
