“We wonder whether we are praying for the right things, but Christ is the wisest of all men, so he knows exactly what to ask the Father for on our behalf. We fear that our prayers won't be heard, but the Father delights to honor His Son, so Christ's petitions will always be welcomed. We grow tired, distracted, and cold in our prayers, but Christ in His Resurrection life is constantly interceding for us. We fall into sin, but Christ is already pleading our case, applying the blood of Calvary for our forgiveness. Christ indeed has far more compassion for us, pity for us, and love for us than we do for ourselves. He is, thank God, more committed to our safe arrival home than we are.”
