Prayer Of Protection

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Oct 11, 2006

In Jesus’ final prayer for His disciples, He prays for their protection, that they will remain faithful, joyful, unscathed, and sanctified. If this were His concerns, these must also be our prayer concerns for one another today.

One of the most encouraging experiences as a Christian is to be prayed for by someone else. • When someone prays for you, especially in your presence, something special happens in your heart - you feel cared for and encouraged. • I believe for those of you having exams this week, and knowing that ...read more
