He Prayed for You

Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

John 17:24

Your Blessing

— You were not born yet; yet He prayed for you —

— The King of glory prayed for you because He is the Good Shepherd who knew you before you were conceived —

— From eternity past, He had chosen you as His own —

— Nothing in you that commended you to Him; yet He chose you anyway—

— He knew that by grace through faith, you will believe in Him through the witness of the apostles; and so He took time to pray for you —

— That you may be where He is now —

— That one day in heaven, you will see His glory – the glory of the Beloved of the Father before the creation of the world —

— Great news for joyful praise, isn’t it —

So, may you sleep well because you’re safe in Christ. May you remember that you are eternally covered by His High Priestly Prayer He said on your behalf, even before you could say, “I do” to His call to discipleship.

Sleep well, my friend, for heaven is already open to you in Christ.

Shalom.
