Bible Verses About Perseverance: The intercession of Christ

“Shim‘on, Shim‘on, listen! The Adversary demanded to have you people for himself, to sift you like wheat!

But I prayed for you, Shim‘on, that your trust might not fail. And you, once you have turned back in repentance, strengthen your brothers!”

Now I am no longer in the world. They are in the world, but I am coming to you. Holy Father, guard them by the power of your name, which you have given to me, so that they may be one, just as we are.
