Jesus Prayed For Us

"I am praying for them. I am not praying for the people in the world but for those you gave me, because they are yours," (John 17:9).


So, I read this verse and I thought if Jesus would pray for us than we should be praying for each other.  We should be doing the things that Jesus did, because we should be striving to be like Jesus.  He was perfect in every way, and even though we can't be perfect we should try to be more like Jesus.

That clearly includes praying not just for ourselves, but for those around us.  And that includes both the unbeliever as well as the believer.  Jesus prayed for the believer because we belong to God, so we should also be praying for those who believe in God as well.

I'm not the best at pray.  I know that, I procrastinate and put it off to do other things.  I know that it is an important part of my relationship with God, and I know that I want to become better at my pray life.  I think if I start slowly it will become more natural.
