BUT I HAVE PRAYED FOR THEE

Scripture:  Luke 22:31-32 “And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.”

    What a great thought today, to know that no matter what you may be going through, Jesus is praying for you!  I have felt the prayers of many precious saints of God down through the years!  I have had some tell me, “I pray for you every day”.  And I knew that they did, because I could feel those prayers helping me and lifting me through the day.  So precious the thought of having someone praying for you, your burdens, your health, for your needs and for your strength.  But nothing compares to knowing that on a daily basis, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Jesus is praying for me!
    What was the reason that He gave Simon here for needing the prayers?  It was because Satan desires to have you! He is praying for us to win the victory in each spiritual battle that we have to face from the attacks on our lives by the devil.  Such comforting words, “But I have prayed for thee”.
     "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it" (1 Cor. 10:13).
     "Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices" (2 Cor. 2:11).
     "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand" (Eph. 6:12-13).
