Can you say these prayers for anyone?

It does not have to be your mother-in-law or someone close to you, you can say these prayers for anyone and God will listen to you and help those you pray for. According to 1 Timothy 2:1, the Bible implies that we are to pray for all. Therefore, by praying for everyone, we get to fulfill the will of God which is, we confess to one another and pray for one another to get healed which is according to James 5:16.
The Bible speculates that we should carry other people’s burdens to fulfill the law of Christ in Galatians 6:2. When we pray for others, we get to carry their burdens and leave them to God. Sometimes other people may lack the faith needed to get their prayers fulfilled, however, we can help them by using our faith and praying that God may give them the strength they need.

We should not mind whether those in prison are guilty or not, we should pray for them and everyone because they are all God’s children.
