Luke 22 - Praying God's Word

Please read Luke 22.

Meditate on verse 32.

But I have prayed for you,

 that your faith may not fail;

 and you, when once you have turned again,

strengthen your brothers.

Imagine Jesus Himself praying for you like He prayed for Peter.  Jesus does pray for you that way.  Hebrews 7:25 says Jesus is able to save you forever because He always lives to make intercession for you. Jesus is living to always pray for you.  Meditate on that truth.

Jesus not only prays for you; He commands you to pray.  Twice in Luke 22, Jesus issued a command to pray.  “Pray that you may not enter into temptation” (Luke 22:40, 46).

Jesus prayed and prayed and prayed in this chapter.  He prayed immediately (v. 41). He prayed fervently (v. 44).  He prayed for others (v. 32).  He prayed for the will of His Father to be done (v. 42). 

Heed the command of Christ to pray and follow His example of how to pray.

Pray Luke 22:40-44 and 46 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, help ________ and me to pray

so we will not enter into temptation.

Teach us to pray like You,

immediately and fervently.

 May Your will to be done, not ours.

In Your name, Jesus~”
