What Jesus does for us

“It doesn’t matter how complicated, how desperate,
perhaps even hopeless your life has become.
No matter how overwhelmed you may feel by your problems,
if your trust is in Jesus Christ,
you can be sure that he is praying for you now
and through that prayer he will provide for you
the resources to bring you relief or enable you to carry on.

The most important thing that you and I need
to learn about prayer is this:
first of all and ultimately,
prayer is not something we do
but what Jesus does for us.”

- Richard B. Gaffin, Christ, Our High Priest in Heaven
