day 73 (week 11, day 3)
Published July 17th, 2008 in reflectLuke 22:32, Jesus to Peter: “I have prayed for you.” Jesus says and does the same for you. When was it?
Lord, there are times when I don’t know what to say before you. I kneel to express thankfulness or to ask something of you and words just won’t come. During those times when my heart and mouth can’t articulate, Jesus prays for me. Thank you, Lord. Amen.
I have felt this way all week as I’ve knelt to pray…and what a comfort to know that
when we don’t have the words or the words we pray seem so inadequate that Jesus prays
for us and makes our prayers effective and acceptable.
