\u201cIntercessions\u201d 1Ti_2:1<\/p>\n

2. Samuel, the faithful prophet, pleaded for Israel and Saul when they were in sore straits because of their sin\u20141Sa_7:8-9; 1Sa_15:24-31.<\/p>\n
3. Daniel, the humble statesman, pleaded for the nation of Judah when in captivity by identifying himself with the sin of the nation\u2014Dan_9:3-20.<\/p>\n
4. Epaphras, the loving pleader, interceded for the saints at Colosse that they might stand perfect and complete in all the will of God\u2014Col_4:12.<\/p>\n
5. Paul, the intense suppliant, pleaded for the Church at Ephesus, that they might have God\u2019s unparalleled riches\u2014Eph_1:16-20; Eph_3:16-21.<\/p>\n
6. John, the loving disciple, who prayed for his friend Gaius, that he might have soul prosperity\u20143Jn_1:2, margin.<\/p>\n
