Prayer

Anything?

Are there limits to anything? Who is Jesus giving this promise to? Does this apply to anyone who asks or just certain people??

If you are asking yourselves any of these questions welcome to the club! While simple truths like this fill the Gospel of John when it comes living with understanding it is another thing entirely.

He is the word…but are we listening?

Bread of life but do we give thanks and eat?

Good Shepherd..but will we follow?

Anything in His name but what of His desire and will? And then even when we know God’s will He has chosen prayer as a part of His plan in bringing it to pass. The older I am getting the less I understand all the answers but the more I am learning of the questions He is asking..

Jesus Still Prays for You

In Luke’s gospel he shows us a scene at the Last Supper of the disciples using the moment while they are still eating to argue about who is the best and most important.

Jesus then pulls Simon Peter aside to give him both a warning and a promise. He tells him to pray because Satan stands ready to attack but Jesus also assures Him that He has been praying for him.

Did you ever stop to think that Jesus is also still praying for you? God’s promises have not changed and remain active and in force for anyone of any status, age or ability; to believe in, trust completely and claim for their lives, family and generation.

No matter who or what we face today; we do not need to do it alone. When we go to God in prayer we can go with this assurance in hand. Jesus is still praying for me!
