54 CELEBRATE BEING PRAYED FOR.

I [Jesus] pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours.

     —John 17:9

The Lord’s prayer traditionally ascribed to the prayer in Matthew 6 was actually “The Disciples’ Prayer” that they, and we, are to pray to the Father. So, the real “Lord’s Prayer” that Jesus prayed for us is in John 17.

We are to pray as He prayed—for one another. We pray that saints will not fall into temptation. We pray that saints will live pure and holy lives. We pray that saints prosper and be in good health.

Praying for one another keeps us in touch with needs, concerns and miracles. When God answers the prayer for another, we can really get excited. We are witnesses to a miracle.

Rejoice and celebrate that Jesus continues to pray for you eternally before the throne of God. Celebrate and dance for joy that His intercession is always effective.

Follow His example. Pray for the saints.
