The Most Beautiful Prayer

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. ~Luke 22:31-32

Those are the words and the prayer of the Lord Jesus Christ. This strikes a core with me. I find it to be the most beautiful and touching prayer, that the Lord Jesus Christ has prayed for our FAITH.

I do not believe for a second that there is a Christian who's faith has never been tested, or shook. The Lord knows the devil and his tactics to sow seed of doubt in our minds and to shake our faith in Christ.

1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.

It is comforting to know that not only does the Lord warn us of the devil, but that he has also prayed for our faith. The very thought of Jesus Christ praying for my Faith.....I am just floored!

May this also be of an encouragement to you, as it is to me:

Eph 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. Eph 3:13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. Eph 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Eph 3:15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, Eph 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; Eph 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, Eph 3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; Eph 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Eph 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Eph 3:21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
