Prayers of the New Testament

John 15:7 says, "If you remain in my words, and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be given you." One thing that jumped out to me about reading 1 and 2 Thessalonians was all the times that Paul showed the example of how to pray to us in the books. When we don't know what to pray, we can always look to the example of the Biblical writers for what to pray and how to pray it. There were multiple times in 1 and 2 Thessalonians where Paul prayed for them and asked for prayer. Here's some other New Testament prayers that Paul prayed. I love modeling my prayer life after these prayers. Enjoy!
