“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
