John 17:13-26 Jesus Praying For Us

Father, how I needed to hear Your Son praying for me and for my boys in this section.  He wants us to have all of His joy.  He knows that the world hates us and that we are now not of this world.  He didn’t pray for You to take us out of the world, but to keep us safe from the Evil One.  He prayed that You’d make us ready for Your service.  He prayed that we could be united.  He said that He’d given us His glory so that we could by one.  He prayed that He wants us to be with Him where He is.  He prayed for us to see His glory.  He also prayed that we would have the same love for You that You have for Your Son.  And He prayed that He will live in us.

I echo that prayer today, Father.  You know our needs.  You love us more than we could ever love ourselves.  Thank You for showing that love every day in so many ways.
