The Prayers Of Paul: A Compilation Of All Prayers

The prayers of Paul are not meant to just be studied; they are meant to be prayed for and appropriated into our spiritual lives so that we can bear worthy fruits like the Apostle did. In 1 Corinthians 11:1 Paul the apostle enjoined that we should be followers of him even as he is a follower of Christ.

‘1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ’(1 Corinthians 11:1)

What a weighty commandment from a mere mortal like us, someone would have said. But a careful examination of the life of Paul reveals a man worthy of spiritual pattern and emulation in all ramifications! And one of such ramifications of his life worthy of emulation is that of his prayer life, his life of ceaseless and endless intercession! To be like Paul we must pray like Paul for when we pray like Paul we will obtain results like Paul!

This reminds me of my first pastorate in Abonnema, Rivers State, Nigeria, West Africa where I read of Kenneth Hagin’s account of where he decided to pray Ephesians 1:15-20 for six months, specifically the portion that he prayed was for the Spirit of revelation and understanding. I followed that example and I pray that prayer not just for six months, but all my life it has been a daily spiritual intercession and meditation for me. Today I see that prayer answered over and over again as God reveals knowledge and understanding by the day! Each time I have open the word the word has opened to me in revelations and understanding! There are lots of Paul’s prayers to pray and in this article, I have compiled some and listed others for us to use in our daily lives. Enjoy the blessings of praying these prayers as I have enjoyed over the years!



  • PRAYER FOR GODLY LIVING – ‘7 now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates….for we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection. ’ (2 Corinthians 13:7,9). ‘9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; 10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; 11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.’(Philippians 1:9-11).
