The One Who Prays for You
Do you know Jesus has prayed for you? It’s true. The Savior of the world prayed for you. As Jesus was nearing the end of his time on earth, he prayed for his disciples. These men had spent three years with Jesus. He must have felt very close to them.
During some of his final days on earth, Jesus prayed that God would keep these men safe and help them to have unity as they spread the good news. “Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one” (vs. 11). He also prayed that God would “sanctify” them, or make them holy, by the truth. But Jesus didn’t just pray for his disciples. If you believe Jesus died for your sins, he was praying for you too. Pay attention to his prayer for you. Jesus prayed that you would be unified — or on the same team — with other believers and connected to God in a way that points others to him.
Before you were ever born, Jesus knew that you would be one of his followers. And he still prays for you (Hebrews 7:25). Remember that when times get tough.

One thing kids can have a hard time understanding is that God wants them to talk to Him at any time about anything. These Bible readings and devotionals will help kids understand that God's desire is to have everyone call on Him in prayer, and that He is always there to listen - no matter how big or small the prayer.
