Perfect Prayer

Christ is praying the perfect prayer for me today.

"Father,... I know that You always hear Me."

John 11:41-2 (PHILLIPS)

Sometimes we don't feel we know how or what to pray. We may feel so empty and so alone, and we may wonder if God hears ours prayers. We may feel we don't have enough faith, or dedication, or holiness to 'get' our prayers out right or 'get' them answered. We may forget to pray or feel we are not diligent. But it's okay. It's okay because Christ lives in us and He is praying for us and through us right now. He always prays the perfect prayer for every need we have. He always has enough faith, and dedication and holiness as He prays. He always remembers to pray and is always diligent in prayer. And He always sees His prayer heard and answered perfectly by His Father. Isn't it wonderful to know that we don't have to have some perfect prayer because the perfect prayer is already being prayed in and for us by Christ! He has joined us into the perfect relationship He has with the Father, and we can be sure that every prayer we pray is through Him and with Him and by Him, that He is giving us the prayers to pray, helping all our prayers along and praying the prayers we don't even have words to pray. And those prayers will be answered perfectly by our heavenly Dad!

A Thought: When I can't think of how to pray, He prays for me.

May the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, and the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. 2 Co. 13:14
