John 17:1-26
The High Priestly Prayer
17 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4 I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.
6 “I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. 8 For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. 9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.
20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

Dar Heavenly Father, Thank You for the sanctification that allows us to resist the evil one and be in this world, but not be part of this world. Help us to follow your commandments and live by the Trinity. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and Thank You for this guidiance in our lives.
Your humble Servant, John
This life, the very life of GOD will always find expression in a love for one another, which is like the FATHER’s love for JESUS. Our differences must never be allowed to create barriers which might prevent us from acknowledging other Christians as our brothers & sisters, & from loving them as family. GOD’s life is shared by THREE, so believers through JESUS also share a common life. Make us one LORD (born again). Everyone who believes that JESUS is the CHRIST is born again. A new creation which makes us members of a great FAMILY; blessed w/siblings to love & to love me. To GOD be absolute glory & praise.
Heavenly Father tha k you for your love. for your Son leading the way to a life of salvation for all. For showing us what true obedience is and for willing to die for a sinner like me that I msy join the Christian family without doubt thzt you are our Szvior of this world. I pray that by His example we will all take a greater look at the commands on our lives to be totally sold out for Jesus no matter what the world has to offer.
Be blessed church
I pray Father that you help me be the witness you want me to be so my unsaved family and friends can see the way to you and have everlasting life.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for loving us and showing us that the things of this world are not what is everlasting. Help us to resist the evil one and to continue to share your name with the world. Many do not know you and thus will not reap the rewards of heaven if we do not make your name known. Amen.
What beautiful and comforting verses! I love hearing that Jesus prays for me. I want to know that I am accomplishing what I was created to do.
Thank you, Jesus, for including me in Your plans and in Your family.
