Jesus Prayed for You the Night He Was Betrayed

Whatever failure you have in your past and whatever failures lie in your future, know that he already knows, and he still intercedes for you. He still knows that you can overcome through his power and through your testimony you will lead and strengthen others. Like Jesus, we should pray for others in their failings as well. Pray for your children, your parents, your spouse, your fellow church members, your neighbors, all in your circle of influence. Pray that when they face failure, they would come out the other side with a stronger faith and a tried-and-true testimony of what God can do through anyone willing to surrender to him in faith.

As we celebrate the Resurrection this year, let us remember that Jesus is not a storybook figure from a long-ago “Bible land,” but rather a risen King who is present, active, and interceding on our behalf every moment of every day.
