Ongoing Prayer

"Every day. Always. Jesus is praying for us — for you, for me. At any moment we can join Him as we slip into His throne room and kneel with our concerns. We can unload all the things that weigh us down and steal our focus and our peace. Often I rush into God’s presence with my need of the moment. Yet this picture of the ongoing prayer meeting in heaven gave me pause as I consider how I approach God with my prayers. I love the image of slipping into the quiet throne room and joining Jesus on my knees as my requests go to the Father. Today, as we have that open invitation into His presence, let’s remember that we join Jesus as He prays to the Father. May it change our entrance, our focus, and fill us with awe as we step into that prayer meeting many times throughout today." - Gail Rodgers
