His Prayers For You
I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.” John 17:9
This verse is so beautiful.
Jesus prayed for you!
Jesus was specifically praying for His friends who love and follow Him.
He was praying for the ones who carry His message of love and redemption. Jesus did not say that He was not praying for the world because He did not care for and love the world. He was focusing on the ones who were following Him and proclaiming His message to the world.
We know that Jesus loved the world because He came to save the world and sinners. 1 Timothy 1:15-17.
In John 3, it also says, “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:17.
But, the salvation of the world depends on Jesus’ friends and disciples to witness to those who need Him and do not know Him yet.
Jesus prayed for you back then, and He is praying for you still today!
“Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.” Romans 8:34.
He is at the right hand of the Father, interceding for you!
You are His!
He is praying and interceding for you. As people who have accepted His word and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead, we are saved, and He is praying for us! Romans 10:9-10.
Spend time thanking Him today for making a way for you to be with Him forever.
Thank Him that He prays for you and sees you.
Thank Him that you are never alone and that He is always with you!
