Praying for friends and family

Certainly. We can pray for anyone. In fact, Scripture directs us to do that (1 Timothy 2:1). Biblical fellowship principles enter the picture when it comes to praying with others.

So, do pray for friends and family. When it comes to their spiritual lives and the spiritual lives of others, you can follow the example of the apostle Paul and pray that the eyes of their hearts may be enlightened (Ephesians 1:18).
