How to pray for friends and family

Do you get requests for prayer for people you don't know--a friend of a friend? Darlene sent me these suggestions for helping in this situation. She said she got these ten keys in an email from "God Encounters ( James Goll ) ministries". https://godencounters.com/praying-your-family-into-gods-kingdom/ She says they are great suggestions on how to pray for family or anyone. Take the time to read the associated Bible verse and meditate on it.
  1. Pray for God to soften their hearts. (Ezekiel 11:19)
  2. Pray for the spirit of conviction to fall on their lives. (John 16:8)
  3. Pray for the spirit of wisdom and revelation to give them dreams, visions, and angelic visitations. (Ephesians 1:17)
  4. Pray the Holy Spirit will bring God’s Word to their remembrance. (John 14:26)
  5. Pray prayers of forgiveness over them and their relationships. (Matthew 6:14-15)
  6. Pray God will send compassionate, spirit-filled laborers into their path. (Matthew 9:38)
  7. Pray for a revelation of the realities of eternity, both heaven and hell.
  8. Pray against generational hindrances and their ability to resist the enemy. (Matthew 6:13)
  9. Solicit the prayers of others! Don’t carry these prayer burdens alone. (2 Corinthians 1:10-11)
  10. Pray for a revelation of God’s great love and kindness! (Romans 2:4)
