JESUS IS PRAYING FOR US

“But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.”
Luke 22:32 KJV

Jesus doesn’t play favorites.  He doesn’t just pray for you and for me.  He prays for everyone.  There have been times in my life when I was unable to pray for myself.  I couldn’t even read my Bible because I was too heartbroken, lonely and in despair.  I was going under for the last time and then Jesus prayed for me.

There is nothing that Jesus can’t do.  He will lift us out of the depths of despair and loneliness as He puts His arms of compassion and love around us and tenderly whispers in our ear “I love you”.  Think about it!  Jesus, the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS not only loves you, He prays for you.

What kind of love is this that the Saviour of the world would not only die on the cross for our sins, but also pray for us?  It is a tender unconditional love that only comes from the heart of Jesus.  What a Saviour!  What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth!  O how I love Jesus.  He is the Joy of my heart.

Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge that Jesus not only loves you unconditionally, He also prays for you?  Let me repeat this because it is so important.  Jesus, the Saviour of the world loves you.  Yes, I’m talking about you.  Jesus loves you unconditionally!

Heavenly Father, I pray for every person who is hurting, lonely, in despair and feels like giving up.  Please comfort and encourage them as You have comforted and encouraged me so many times.  We love You, Heavenly Father and we appreciate all You do for us.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
