Colossians 1:9 And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, [10] so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; [11] being strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy;

Paul's prayer is a wonderful example of how we should pray for others and for ourselves.
