Gedanken zum Vers des Tages
Indem Jesus seine Liebe und Fürsorge für seine Jünger durch seine Gebete zu Gott zeigte, ist er für uns ein großes Beispiel dafür, dass auch wir um Gottes geistlichen Schutz für unsere Lieben beten sollen und können.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus, in showing his love and care for his disciples in prayer right before his Passion, is our great example of how we can and must pray for God's spiritual protection over those we love. The Lord Jesus knew what would happen to him, yet chose to pray for them rather than focusing on himself. Praying for them was that important to the Lord! His disciples could not leave the world and still serve the world and reach the lost with God's grace. So, Jesus prayed protection over them and for them. Jesus' example is our command to pray for God to protect his disciples from the evil one (Matthew 6:13). The apostle Paul reminds us:
The Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. (2 Thessalonians 3:3)
We need to pray following the Lord's example!
Mein Gebet
Liebender und zärtlicher Hirte, großer Beschützer der Herde, mögest du durch mein Leben verherrlicht werden. Bitte bewahre die folgenden Menschen, über die ich besorgt bin, auf körperlicher und geistlicher Ebene. Im Namen Jesu. Amen.
My Prayer...
Loving and Tender Shepherd, the great Guardian of the Flock, please physically and spiritually protect your people from evil and the evil one. We trust in your faithfulness to strengthen and protect them. In the name of Jesus and following his example, we offer ourselves and our prayers to you. Amen.
