JESUS PRAYED FOR ME

Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 “Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.  For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.  Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”

     Jesus prayed for me last night when I was feeling down.  He took me before the Father where peace could be found. He asked Him to give me strength and courage to stand. Jesus prayed for me last night, I felt the touch of His hand.
    What a privilege to know that Jesus is interceding on our behalf before the Father! He has taken our needs and brought them before the throne and is asking the Father to answer our prayer and meet our need.  
    He is pictured in our text verses as “a great high priest”.  The priest duty was to go before God and make sacrifice in the behalf of the people. Jesus did just that, in that He offered the sacrifice of Himself and His blood to atone for the sins of the whole world. Thank God, He is still seated at the right hand of the Father, ever living to make intercession for us. Jesus prayed for me, I could feel my strength renew. The Father gave me grace to do what I needed to do. He asked Him to touch me, but He gave me so much more.  Jesus prayed for me, gave me a touch like never before. 
    The most precious thing about Him praying for us is that His prayer (intercession) will be heard and God will send an answer. Many times we find ourselves facing trials and troubles that we could find help from, if we would only pray.  He has told us that “we have not, because we ask not”.  He knows what we are going through having faced them His self and He wants us to come to Him in our time of need.
     Jesus prayed for me, God answered right away.  He took all the darkness, turned it to brightest day.  He gave me the grace to walk with Him another mile.  Jesus prayed for me, now I’ll talk to Him for a while.
