| John 17:20-26 - He Prayed For You
by Chris
We ask people to pray for us all the time. However, when was the last time you asked Jesus to pray for you?
This may seem basic, but after interrogating myself I realized I rely on the prayers of man more than the prayers of my Savior himself.
My spirit was renewed when I found the following prayer from Jesus himself on our behalf. He is praying to God for us.
Today I want you to take some time and really read Jesus’ prayer below. Make it personal.
I am just so grateful to serve a God who actually prays for my well being. Thank you Jesus.
Jesus’ Prayer For All Believers
“20 I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. 21 I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.
22 “I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one. 23 I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me. 24 Father, I want these whom you have given me to be with me where I am. Then they can see all the glory you gave me because you loved me even before the world began!
25 “O righteous Father, the world doesn’t know you, but I do; and these disciples know you sent me. 26 I have revealed you to them, and I will continue to do so. Then your love for me will be in them, and I will be in them.”
