There are many prayers in Scripture that the Apostle Paul prayed.  The one he prayed for the Colossians in Colossians 1:9-14 is especially notable for me.  In fact I have several names of my loved ones written in the margin beside it.

“For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 
that you may have a walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
strengthen with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;
giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.
He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
in whom we have redemption through His blood, and forgiveness of sins.”

There are several things here that Paul is praying for the Colossians and see if they are not the same that you desire for the people in your sphere of influence:

‘to be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding’

‘to walk worthy of the Lord, pleasing Him’

‘being fruitful in good works’

‘increasing in the knowledge of God’

‘strengthen with might according to His power’

‘longsuffering with joy’

‘giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the saints in the light’

‘He has delivered us from the power of darkness’

‘translated us into the kingdom of the Son He loves’

‘the Son in whom we have redemption through His blood and forgiveness of our sins’

What a prayer!  Does that not fill your heart’s desire for all you know?

This message was inspired by one from Charles Stanley that went straight to my heart and I just had to share it.

Father we ask in Jesus’ name and in the power of the Holy Spirit to learn to pray diligently for those you place in our lives and on our hearts. 
Amen
