Jesus didn’t pray that Peter should not fail

• Jesus prayed that Peter’s faith should not fail

Luke 22:31-34
New King James Version (NKJV)

³¹ And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. ³² But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.”

³³ But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death.”

³⁴ Then He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me.”

Jesus prophesied about Peter’s return

Luke 22:31-34
New King James Version (NKJV)

³¹ And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. ³² But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.”

Jesus Prophesied Peter’s Vitory

Luke 22:31-34

³¹ And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. ³² But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.”

• Even longer before Peter fall, God prophesied Peter’s Victory
• Even longer before we fall, God prophesied our Victory
