Praying for me!!!


Praying for Me!!!.....

I love this portion of scripture....
Jesus is praying for me....of all people, because he knows me by name and form from the beginning, but He is including me in his prayers and it is recorded in the book of John...so that I can see that Jesus prayed for those who came after, without seeing him,.... walking with Him ...traveling with Him,  touching Him....we believe with our hearts, souls and minds even though we weren't with Him....that prayer is for "down through the ages"... Not limit on what year, in the future....He knew, knows.....


John 17:20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,  21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.  22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—  23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me.  26 I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”

And then I like to put my name is this one also, recorded as Paul's prayer for his fellow workers in Christ at Philippians...but shared with the world through the BIble, handed down through the generations.....

Philippians 1:9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,  10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,  11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

These are personal....hitting the heart...the soul.....

Thank you, that You cared enough to pray for me....and then recorded it so that I might read it .....years later....
