How to pray for other Christians

As I was reading my bible (Colossians 1 to be precise) I came across an interesting list that made me think about how sincere and substantial my prayers were for others who are "Fighting the good fight":

1. Be thankful for their faith and changed lives (1:3).
2. Ask God to help them know his will (1:9).
3. Ask God to give them spiritual wisdom and understanding (1:9).
4. Ask God to help them live to honor and please him (1:10).
5. Ask God to give them more knowledge of himself (1:10).

How many people in your life could be touched if you prayed in this way?

Let me know if you have any more...
