What does the Bible say about Christ's prayers for His people?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible shows that Christ specifically prays for the elect, asking the Father to keep them from evil, to unify them, to sanctify them, and to ensure they are with Him.

In John 17, Christ intercedes on behalf of His people, declaring, 'I pray for them. I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me' (John 17:9). This demonstrates His specific focus on the elect, highlighting the intimate relationship between Christ and His followers. He prays primarily for four key aspects: protection from evil, unity among believers, sanctification through the truth, and a desire for His people to be with Him eternally. The implications of Christ's prayers are profound, as they reassure believers that because He prays, they are secure and will receive what He requests, which always aligns with the Father's will.
