Living to Pray

How serious are you when you tell someone that you are praying for them?  It is not a light matter.  Prayer works.  I have seen it work and I believe in it.  However, if I had not seen it work,  I would know there is power there because of the message found in
Hebrews 7.25- Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.

That 'He' is Christ. Christ lives to pray for us.  That is exciting on many levels.  First it is exciting to know that we are prayed for by the only one with sinless access to the Father.  Nothing complicates His prayer life.  There is a straight line. 

It is also exciting to know that prayer is so powerful that Christ 'lives' to do it.  What an opportunity we have in prayer! 

Let's savor today our opportunity in prayer and our opportunity because of prayer.
