May 27 Petition Mission

“He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them” (Heb 7:25).

What are the greatest prayers in the whole universe? Why, Christ’s prayers for you! The One who tirelessly seeks our good knows absolutely everything. He can do absolutely anything—within God’s will. And He owns absolutely everything. Now with all knowledge, all ability, and all resources, is there anything else He requires? Well, yes. He knows every one of us—our needs, desires, and our purpose in life. Is there an enemy stronger than He can defeat? No! Is there a need deeper than He can provide? No! Is there a problem greater than He can solve? No!

The godly Scottish evangelist and Bible teacher Robert Murray McCheyne (1813-1843) expressed the truth in this stirring way: “If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet distance makes no difference. He is praying for me!”
