Summary

Did You Know Jesus Prays for You? John 17: Daily Devotional, Daily Bible Study In this episode, Rachael Groll opens up about her own painful and beautiful journey through adoption and how that season transformed her understanding of prayer and the way Jesus prays for us. Looking at John 17, she reflects on Jesus’ prayer for His followers: a prayer filled with longing for unity, protection, and a deep, relational knowledge of God. Rachael unpacks what it means to live in a broken world while staying rooted in God’s truth, and she invites listeners to think about how their prayers, choices, and presence can make a real impact. This episode offers a powerful reminder that Jesus is still interceding for us and that we are meant to carry His heart into the world. ☆Pick up a copy of my latest book: Knowing God’s Voice ☆Go Deeper and Learn to Hear God’s Voice: Knowing Jesus Course ☆Get Ad-Free Episodes, Bonus Content, and more here: ⁠ patreon.com/HearingJesus ☆To Learn More About Sponsoring a Child, check out Compassion International here:➤ Sponsor a Child ☆Go on a trip with Rachael: Bible Study Live ☆Have a question for Rachael?

The Holy Spirit intercedes for us in our moments of despair. Jesus' prayers are intentional and invite us into intimacy with God. Eternal life is about knowing God in a personal relationship. Our prayers should align with God's mission and purpose. Jesus prays for the unity and protection of his disciples. Believers are called to be in the world but not of it. The unity among believers reflects God's love to the world. Discipleship involves active participation in God's mission. Our relationship with God should influence our actions in the world.
