More subjunctive. Go Grammar!

Name: Chad
Scripture: Luke 22: 1-38
Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that me might sift you like wheat but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail.

OAP: A few quick thoughts because I am extreamly tired.
Prayer is important, I have been realizing that more and more lately. Will gave a talk on prayer and it was the first one in a long time to make me realize what prayer meant to other people rather than my own view of that it only served to remind the one praying to align their will with God. anyway, that view has changed and I can see the application and wisdom of prayer, if not through that then how about this verse, Jesus prayed on our behalf and therefore we should pray on the behalf of others.
Secondly, prayer is necessary. Jesus prays for Simon and the syntax of it shows that it is a purpose, or possibly a result, clause. either way the "that" shows that without prayer, Simon would have failed. luckily we have the holy spirit interceding on our behalf.
Thirdly, it is never a sure thing, "prayed that your faith may not fail" Subjunctive. it may or it may not, all we know is that Jesus prayed so that it MAY.

God, as you talk to me about prayer and have shown me how to talk to you, continue to have understand it more fully. Will gave us some points that changed my view of prayer and I am sure that there are more, reveal those to me.
