Are there Sins not …

Are there Sins not covered in the 10 commandments?
1-Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2-Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
3-Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
4-Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5-Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
6-Thou shalt not kill.
7-Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8-Thou shalt not steal.
9-Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
10-Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
Yes—there are sins not explicitly named in the Ten Commandments.
The Ten Commandments are a short list of core obligations (mainly about worshiping God and basic duties toward others). Most other sins—like anger, cruelty, deceit, gluttony, envy, and many forms of unfaithfulness—aren’t singled out as separate commandments there, though many are addressed elsewhere in the Bible (and the Ten Commandments function more like principles that imply broader moral boundaries).
The Apostle Paul WARNS Believers of these:
Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Colossians 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Colossians 3:21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

Praying

The Apostle Paul has a lot to say about Prayer and Praying. Things that He prayed about and Prayer requests he had for the believers. Mainly, believers should pray about everything.
Some of what Paul instructs:
The Spirit helps us to pray. Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Always in Prayer Romans 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Not to worry, just keep it in prayer. Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Colossians 4:2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
And to Timothy, he wrote 1 Timothy 2:8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
God already knows everything and is just looking for our Faith which is demonstrated by our prayers.
Did Paul know about all that would befall him as he went forth?
The beatings, Being Stoned, The shipwrecks 2 Corinthians 11:25
Many times events happen that we are not able to pray about, which is why we should Pray without ceasing.
God already knows about everything …
What He wants from us is FAITH in HIM!
