How do we know that God prays for us?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reveals that Jesus intercedes for believers, assuring us that He prays for His followers (John 17:9).

One of the profound truths in Scripture is that Jesus not only saves but intercedes for us. In John 17:9, Jesus states, 'I pray for them. I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.' This intercession is comforting as it shows that our Lord actively upholds us in prayer. When Jesus said to Peter, 'But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not' (Luke 22:32), it emphasizes His commitment to ensuring that our faith remains strong amid trials. God’s prayers for us are a testament to His grace and mercy, reinforcing the believer's assurance in times of difficulty.
