145:18 Jesus Is Praying for You When overwhelmed by chronic pain, severe grief, or numbing anxiety, you may find prayer difficult. Your feeble cries may seem useless. But Jesus stands at the right hand of God, interceding on your behalf, and is touched with the feeling of your infirmities. Are your prayers faint and weak? Take heart—Jesus is praying for you. God can use even the shakiest prayer of the weakest saint to move heaven and earth because he promises to be “close to all who call on him”—no matter how softly.
