I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail.” (Luke 22:32)

Near the end of his time on earth the Son enjoyed one final meal with his mates. After feasting on bread and sipping some fine wine, he turned ter Old Pete and declared, “I’m praying for you.”

Imagine that: the Son of Skipper, the feller through whom ever’ thing whar made, prayed fer his mates. Now it be a right fair thing ter get folks ter pray fer ya, but ter know that Skipper’s boy also be petitioning his pop on yer behalf, why that be a right fine deal indeed.

These days the Son’s Spirit prays fer us.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. (Romans 8:26-27)

In the same way Jesus prayed in the Garden fer his mates moments befer he whar arrested, these days his Spirit prays fer his mates with intense groaning we kin not hear.

Not sure if anyone cares ’bout yer circumstances? The Son does. His Spirit does. Ask him ter pray fer ya. A feller who has the ear of Skipper ‘ill get results, ya may lay ter that.
