Jesus Christ's Intercession For Us

Every time I study these scriptures, I think, "I remember that!" but then I wonder why sometimes I don't act like I know these things. May God bless us and make us His blessing as we read an apply His word.

John 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance

Hosea 14:4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.

Isaiah 49:25 But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.

Thank you Lord.
