Prayerthink: A Collection of Prayers for All People
()
About this ebook
Retired pastor Roy Bohrer is passionate about his mission of encouraging others to consistently think about all the people they encounter on a daily basis, consider them with compassion and love, and then pray for their well-being. Within his helpful guidebook, Bohrer includes sample prayers that invite anyone to bring the power of God and good into the world, focus on the divine care of others, and ultimately replace worries about ourselves and negativity with happiness. His collection of prayers addresses all people that include family members, strangers on the street, those who serve us, medical caretakers, entertainers, people in foreign lands, and even ourselves.
Prayerthink shares a collection of sample prayers that guides readers to fulfill a divine mission and pray for all people. If personal thoughts or references are added by the user, this book could become a personal prayer diary.

Praying For All People
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, PRAYERS, intercession and thanksgiving be made FOR ALL PEOPLE — that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
I Timothy 2:1-2 (NIV)
Moreover, as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you.
1 Samuel 12:23 (KJV)
I have no desire but to do all men good. I feel to pray for all men.
Joseph Smith, History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 7 Vols. 5:259
Our earnest prayer is that God will graciously vouchsafe prosperity, happiness, and peace to all our neighbors, and like blessings to all the peoples and powers of the earth.
U.S. President William McKinley
When my arms can’t reach people who are close to my heart, I always hug them with my prayers.
Hussein Nishah
