I pray for them: I pray not for the world,
but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
-- John 17 verse 9 (Kings James Bible)
May God’s Word affirm your spirit with hope each day.
but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
-- John 17 verse 9 (Kings James Bible)
- Prayer is vital part of a believer’s life. As Jesus
demonstrates in His prayer, it has the power to change
and influence outcomes that would ordinarily be
disastrous. Knowing and understanding the perils and
disappointments of life, He prayed about them for us in
advance of the cross. Knowing that His Word would not
come back void and as He sent His Word out to heal
those present in His day, His Word would carry the same
power and influence into the future for our benefit too.
- However, for us to realize those benefits, we too must
remain in His presence. We must keep ourselves in the
love of God as written. We have to remain in the proper
category of His prayer as we wait and serve with
confidence for His Word to manifest as spoken.
- Today, His prayer remains in full effect that we do not
have to settle for a life with a predetermined worldly
outcome.
May God’s Word affirm your spirit with hope each day.
