Jesus Lifts Up Peter In Prayer

Jesus Lifts Up Peter In Prayer

“Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail...” (Luke 22:31-32). Jesus knew that Peter was going to deny Him. But what He wanted Peter to know was that He had his back in prayer. How reassuring! The same God who knows you and I are going to fail Him at times—because we all do—also covers us His prayers. Friend, no matter how weak you may feel your faith is today, always know that Jesus is in Heaven praying for you. Consider taking a moment today to thank Him for not only saving you, but carrying you to the end with His fervent intercession. Now that’s something to pray about!
