* Jesus Prayed for You

I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message.
John 17:20 NLT

This chapter is quite incredible! The entire chapter is Jesus praying for His followers - those God had given Him for that time and in verse 20, for all those who would EVER believe in Christ. That, in and of itself, is overwhelming when we try to comprehend it with our finite mind!

Read it and read it again! Let's build up our most holy faith and confidence KNOWING Jesus prayed that God would keep us safe from satan's power, so we would not wind up under the enemy's authority. Remember, Jesus never said we wouldn't have problems - trials and tribulations - in fact, in John 16:33, He said we WOULD have them! However, He also said don't worry about it, because He had already conquered the world! 

THAT's the Jesus who prayed for you! Feel better?

Prayer:

Father,
          Thank You for loving us overwhelmingly and sending Your Son to be our Savior! Thank You that in Him we are overcomers. And thank You more than we can express for having John to record Christ's prayer for us. You are unfailing! Help us to fully comprehend this glorious event! In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
