Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak! (Matthew 26:41; Mark 14:38)
[Scripture from the New Living Translation]
But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! (Matthew 5:44)
But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too. (Mark 11:25)
Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. (Luke 6:28)
Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them. (Romans 12:14)
I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. (1 Timothy 2:1-6)
Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. (James 5:13)
And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. (1 Peter 1:17)
Never stop praying. (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
