“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in
Me through their word;
وَلَسْتُ أُصَلِّي مِنْ أَجْلِ هؤُلاَءِ فَقَطْ، بَلْ أَيْضاً مِنْ
أَجْلِ الَّذِينَ سَوْفَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِي بِسَبَبِ كَلِمَةِ هؤُلاَءِ،
John 17:20
Jesus’ words, "I pray also for those who will believe in me through
their word”, should give us real comfort especially during times of
adversity.
After praying for his disciples, Jesus prayed for all
those who would believe in Him through their word. In a sense, everyone who has
become a believer; a follower of Christ; has done so through the Apostles'
message. So Jesus was praying for all the believers who would ever exist. He
was praying for you and me and those He wants us to reach with His message of
salvation.
Knowing that Jesus prayed for us should give us
confidence as we work for His Kingdom.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba
Father, thank You for loving me with a deep
and everlasting love, thank You for Your abundant blessings in my life, and for
the riches of Your grace upon my life. Thank
You Jesus for praying for me to our Father and that You are seated at the right
hand of our Father interceding for me. Thank you Jesus for granting me eternal
life through The Cross. Jesus please teach me to pray. Father strengthen my
faith and give me peace and confidence that Your promises are coming true. I declare Jesus as my
Lord and Saviour, and I pray in His Holy Name, to
Him be the power, the glory, the majesty, the blessings, and the
dominion before all time and now and forever. Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
