Christ is no careless advocate for His people.  He knows your precise condition at this moment, and the exact state of your heart with regard to the temptation through which you are passing; more than that, He foresees the temptation which is awaiting you, and in His intercession He takes note of the future event which His prescient eye beholds.  ‘Satan hath desired to have thee, that he may sift thee as wheat; but I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not.’

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834 – 1892)
