Our Lord's Prayer for Us

John 16:9b I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.
20 "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message

Its hard not to read this and see that Our Savior has a crazy kinda love, not only for His disciples….but for us as well. Jesus prays to the Father for
1. God to glorify himself
2. His disciples
3. Their protection
4. Their sanctification
5. Us
6. Our unity with each other/one body
7. Our eternal salvation

All in the power of the name….of God the Father. All to the glory of God the Father.

Talk about…The Lord’s Prayer.

Holy God, thank you for your precious gift of Jesus. His love, for a group who constantly needed more assurance and continued to stumble, is unbelievable. Living on this side of cross seems to be similar in that, we look to your word for assurance, and yet we still continue to stumble. Have mercy on us for our unbelief, our wandering hearts, which seem set in a way that is opposite of what you would have for us.
