Have you prayed for anyone lately? God so loved each of us that Jesus Christ was sent to earth to teach us how to intercede for each other. Jesus stood proxy for us when he prayed in the garden as noted in the Gospel of John, Chapter 17. Each born again Christian is included in this prayer. Isn’t it wonderful to know that before we came screaming from the womb of our mothers and sprouting from the seeds of our fathers, Jesus interceded between God and us? Thank God we have an intercessor that knew and taught us how to pray.

As we go into our sacred closet to pray, remember that Jesus prayed for “protection from the evil one, and that God, the Father has sanctified all who believes in the truth as he taught his disciples.

Are you excited today that you know how to talk to God? It is our Lord and Savior who taught us to communicate with divinity. The prayer in John Chapter 17 reminds me of a seasoned elder who often talked to God three times a day while relaxing on the front porch. Her testimony goes like this: "My grand child often sat on my lap or stayed in my presence all day watching nearly every move I made. One particular day, the child noted that I was sitting in an old rocking chair just humming, and saying over and over, yes Lord, yes, Lord, I know, I know you hear me... I went on like this throughout the day. Finally, the child asked, 'Grandmamma who do you talk to every day like this? I don’t see anyone.' I told the child that I am talking to my God because I know Jesus is my friend."
