Jesus prayed for Peter, and Jesus can pray for me.
New Testament
32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not.
This scripture was in a footnote in DC 108, which talks to Lyman something about his calling. There are a few things in there, secret gems for people who struggle, it seems to me. One is that he was "Therefore, let your soul be at arest concerning your spiritual standing." Who knows what Lyman was going through, but apparently he needed some peace. I feel like that's what I need today.
And then later in the section, there's a message for him to strengthen his brethren, which leads to the footnote in Luke above. First have faith, then strenghten thy brethren. And if that first part (faith) is hard, maybe we can focus on the having our souls be at rest and trying to think about Jesus praying for me and helping me have peace.
