Luke 22:32
But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."
Jesus says this just before Peter denies him three times. What are you, nuts, Peter?!
Notice the amazing freedom Jesus gives us to fail. Peter messes up even though Jesus is praying for his faith not to fail. Thank Jesus for forgiveness. Peter spends the rest of his life drawing on that forgiveness to serve in a powerful way.
What do you need Jesus to pray for the most for you personally?
