Paul refers to his own intercessory prayers and seeks for a similar service on his own behalf from those to whom he writes. Intercession is based upon the tendency of the heart filled by love and deep sympathetic sense of relations to others.
Apostle Paul’s examples:
- (Rom. 1:9); The Spirit’s interceding
- Rom.8:27); Paul’s prayer for his race,
- (Rom.10:1); request for prayers
- (Rom.15:30); help that he found from the prayer of his friends
