"For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of The Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to The Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light." Colossians 1:9-12 (NIV)
The Apostle Paul prayed for the Christians in the Church at Colosse based solely upon what he had heard about them. The fact that he had never visited them, and that he did not know them personally, did not stop him from praying for them.
Christians are always under attack by the demons of Satan, powers, principalities, wicked people in high places, and people under the influence of the devil. (Ephesians 6:12) We are all always in need of prayer. We should pray for others as we would pray for ourselves. Someone prayed for us, even before we prayed for ourselves.
