Somebody's Praying - John 17 records the prayers of someone who loves you more than your mother: Jesus. “Father, I want these whom you have given me to be with me where I am. Then they can see all the glory you gave me because you loved me even before the world began.” For many, in addition to a praying mother, they also have a Savior who has prayed for them. It’s always good to know Somebody is praying. "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"

What do the following things have in common: 

- a newly licensed sixteen-year-old driver who speeds dangerously, 

- a pair of recently graduated brothers who decide to jump off a railroad bridge thirty feet above a river just for kicks, and 

- a youth group bent on going sledding even though the conditions are beyond icy?

They all have praying mothers. 

Who knows how much teenage foolishness and danger has been negated because somebody’s mom prayed. 

John 17 records the prayers of someone who loves you more than your mother: Jesus. 

“Father, I want these whom you have given me to be with me where I am. Then they can see all the glory you gave me because you loved me even before the world began!” - (John 17:24).

For many, in addition to a praying mother, they also have a Savior who has prayed for them. 

It’s always good to know Somebody is praying.

Prayer Suggestion: Pray for your loved ones like Jesus prays for you.

Someone Is Praying For You - Heritage Singers 

lyrics

Someone is praying for you
Someone is praying for you
So when it seems you're all alone
And your heart will break in two
Remember someone is praying for you

Have the crowds 'round you gathered in the midst of the storm?
Is your ship tossed and battered, are you weary and worn?
Don't lose hope, someone's praying for you this very day
And peace be still is already on the way

Someone is praying for you
Someone is praying for you
So when it seems you're all alone
And your heart will break in two
Remember someone is praying for you

When it seems that you've prayed 'til your strength is all gone
And your tears fall like raindrops all the day long
He cares and He knows just how much you can bear
He'll speak your name to someone in prayer

Someone is praying for you
Someone is praying for you
So when it seems you're all alone
And your heart will break in two
Remember someone is praying for you
Remember someone is praying for you
