Luke 22

The Savior of the world, the Messiah, even the Son of God that possessed power to heal so many instructs Peter one the evening of the last supper -

"...Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat..." (New Testament | Luke 22:31)

But it is what the Savior follows with that really touched me -

"But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not..." (New Testament | Luke 22:32)

In just these few word, the Savior teaches us more about the plan of salvation and our relationship with Him and our Father in Heaven as He declares that He had prayed for Peter. What a marvelous thing to think the Savior, with power and authority to heal the physical sicknesses of man would still pray unto the Father on our behalf.

It would also suggest that even though God can heal, He also allows our agency to grow and develop. In a real sense, God will force no man to heaven. He allows us the agency to develop faith in Him. That is the plan.
