Scripture tells us that we Christians “do not know what we ought to pray for†(Rom. 8:26). To compensate for our weakness, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us. It should come as no surprise, then, that the prayer-wise Holy Spirit who inspired the Bible writers should have included in Scripture some examples of how to pray for fellow believers.
Just the other day, in a morning time of quiet with the Lord, I came across another prayer we can use as a model when we pray for others. David originally prayed this prayer. It’s found in Psalm 28:9—”Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever.” Four simple but profound requests for God’s people: Save them. Bless them. Shepherd them. Carry them.
Lord—teach us to pray!
