“Seeing that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.” Hebrews 4:14,15
Do you know you have a Savior who prays for you? Jesus, your great High Priest, has entered the throne room of heaven and He has left the door open for you to pray with Him. He will give you His perspective from the throne.
Keep that in mind when you see evidence of the worldwide wreckage caused by evil. Not only watch television, the internet and such, but also pray. We are in touch with all the families of the world. Pray for them as you would pray for your own family.
Take in the reality of what's going on in the lives of those you love. Jesus does. He is in touch with the reality of their weaknesses, testings, and struggles with temptation. He's been through it all.
We often feel our own sinfulness as we pray for our loved ones. We feel guilty, responsible for our family's troubles because of our past deeds. Fear not. Jesus makes intercession for all of us. His wounds speak for us. Forgiven, we pray on!
Be aware of the power of prayer. Jesus is aware of what your family needs and cares. He has so much to give. He understands our human condition in our sin-cursed world. He knows because He is one of us! He offers more than sympathy. He shares with us His victory.
Receive: Take the mercy, accept the help you need for yourself and for all your family. You are not alone in your travail as you pray for each person you love by name; the prodigal son, daughter, the in-laws and the outlaws! The Trinity prays while angels praise and heaven hopes as you claim grace and mercy today.
INTERCEDE: Lord Jesus, I confess faith in you as my great High Priest. I seek pardon, victory and strength for my family. Holy Spirit, keep me in touch with the realities they face. I speak their names before your throne. I know You care, so I care, and pray in Your Name, Amen.
Note:The Holy Spirit will give intercessors like you a prayer plan for your family. The prayer above is a simple sample, a starter, to help you boldly come to Jesus
