“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in Me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as You are in Me and I am in You.”
Jesus prays for each one of us. His words “I pray for those
who will believe in Me” is for every believer that has accepted Jesus as His
Savior and lives for Almighty God.
Knowing that helps us get through everything that happens,
sometimes with tears; sometimes with joy. Jesus continues to pray for us at all
times, in every situation and for every need. Remembering that Jesus prays for
us also brings added relief and calm.
As believers we can pray for other believers and those who
have not given their hearts to Jesus. Our prayers matter. God hears when we pray,
and He wants us to pray
On Enduringword.com, David Guzik wrote: "Jesus prayed for His
disciples, but He also had the heart and the vision to pray beyond them. He
prayed for those who would come to faith by the testimony of these disciples.
He prayed for us . . . He knew His intercession for the disciples would
prevail. He knows His intercession for us will prevail. Then let us rest in
Him, with the rest of loving obedience and of surest confidence.”
Godsbless.ing: "This verse speaks to the powerful role of Jesus as our ultimate mediator and advocate before God. When we come to God through Jesus, He intercedes on our behalf, standing in the gap for us. This means that Jesus pleads for us, presents our needs and requests to God, and ultimately ensures that we are in a right relationship with Him . . . We can marvel at the depth of Jesus’ love and commitment to us as believers . . . Jesus is constantly advocating for us and working on our behalf as we navigate challenges and seek God’s presence. This verse encourages us to deepen our faith in Jesus as our mediator and to approach God with confidence and trust in His saving power."
“I pray also for those who will believe in Me” is a hope-filled verse to remember. Blessed are we to have a Savior who continually holds each one of us before our God.
By His Grace . . .
