“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'
messages. 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 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. Thank you Father for loving me with a deep
and everlasting love, thank You for Your abundant blessings in my life. Now to Him who is able
to carry out His purpose and do infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes,
or dreams, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the
glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and
ever. Ephesians
3:20-21 (AMP) Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
