Jesus, praying: “I am praying … for all who will ever believe in me.” John 17:20a
Prayer needs to be on your agenda. Jesus was known for stepping away from the group, finding a quiet place, and spending time with the Father. If prayer matters to Jesus, it should matter to you too.
During the Last Supper, his final Passover meal, Jesus took time to pray for you and me. He prayed that all his followers would be of one mind. He prayed that one day we could join him again, to see him shining in all the glory the Father had given him.
In spite of the impending crucifixion, unselfish prayer remained on Jesus’ to-do list. He prayed for the apostles, for other believers, and even for future believers in the 21st century.
That’s right – Jesus prayed for YOU! So lift your voice! Be a part of what Jesus taught us to do. You can and should, in Jesus’ name, pray to the Father. Try it today.
