Motivation to pray
“I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my supplications. Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.” Psalm 116:1-2
“Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by ceasing to pray for you.” I Samuel 12:23
Perspective on praying in times of physical trials:

Perspective on praying in times of spiritual trials:
“For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God....”
Colossians 1:9-10
