Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. – Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ—the same, yesterday and today and forever! The same Jesus who was there at Earth’s creation — the same Jesus who walked the earth — the same Jesus who healed, discipled, and died for the sins of humankind and rose again — the same Jesus who promises to return and take His own to Heaven with Him — the same Jesus walks with each of His believers today in the form of the Holy Spirit that He promised would dwell with each one.
Close your eyes. Imagine Jesus beside you as He walked beside Cleopas and his companion on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35). Tell Him about your troubles, cares, and concerns. And, like the conversation between those men, remember that Jesus knows more about your situation than you do.
The Lord knows what is going on in this country: the good, the bad, the beautiful, and the ugly. He knows your needs before you ask Him. Through Jesus you come boldly to the Father by the Holy Spirit to find help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16). He answers your prayers as He did when Abraham’s servant asked for a wife for Isaac and He led him to Rebekah (Genesis 24). He answers your prayers like He did when Solomon prayed for wisdom (1 Kings 3:3-14). He answers your prayers like He did when believers prayed for Peter and he was miraculously released from prison (Acts 12:1-19).
Enter His presence with confidence, knowing the same Jesus hears and responds to His people as they intercede for their families, for the citizens and officials of the United States, and for the spreading of His gospel throughout the world.

Recommended for further reading: John 1:4-18
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.
9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) 16 For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.
