8.10 Can I pray more than once for something? What is intercessory prayer? What are ways to pray for other people?

Jesus told us to ask, search, and knock – every day again (Mt 7:7-12). We can repeat our requests over and again in prayer, not only for yourself but especially also for others. If we pray for others, we intercede for them with God, hence the term intercessory prayer.
