I'm Covered!
Scripture: John 17: 13-15
Somebody prayed for me, had
me on their mind,
they took the time and prayed
for me.
I’m so glad they prayed (2x),
I’m so glad they prayed for
me.
As a child, I remember
singing a song entitled, “Somebody Prayed for Me” by Dorothy Norwood. The lyrics of the song later
pay homage to the mother and the preacher who prayed for her. I recall
gleefully singing this song, joyful that “somebody” had prayed for me! It is a great feeling to know that even when
we don’t have the minds to pray for ourselves, we are covered by the prayers of
others interceding on our behalf. We’re covered!
In our scripture, Jesus prays
for the disciples and asks for their protection. I believe that His prayer for
the disciples extends to us today. It reminds us that not only are our mothers
and the preacher praying for us, but Jesus is also standing in the gap to
ensure our protection. We’re covered!
Prayer: My Lord and my
God, despite the magnitude of evil that exists in this world and its
persistence I experience all around me, I rejoice in the assurance that I am
protected by your presence and your power. I’m covered!
The Reverend Regina C. Groff
