• I have one request, dear friends Pray for me.
  Pray strenuously with and for meto God the
  Father, through the power of our Master Jesus,
  through the love of the Spiritthat I will be
  delivered from the lions den of unbelievers in
  Judea. Pray also that my relief offering to the
  Jerusalem Christians will be accepted in the
  spirit in which it is given. Romans 1530,31 The
  Message.

Striving

• Prayer may be a struggle, a work. The word
  (Greek sunagovisastha) Paul used in urging the
  Romans to pray is the word from which English
  agonize is derived. He expected Gods will to
  be accomplished through prayer, but he knew he
  faced physical agony and wanted fellow Christians
  to bear part of the spiritual agony through
  prayer. True intercessory prayer involves
  suffering spiritual pain for others.
