“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 and as we face daily tribulations.
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. Father, please
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 Jesus be the power, the glory,
the majesty, the blessings, and the dominion before all time, now, and
forevermore. Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
