Read Today's Passage
Wow.
This is prayer. We see so many pastors today trying to deliver the greatest, most wordy, intellectual, spiritual prayer. But here Jesus speaks plainly and directly to God. He yields that God is in control, and He makes requests of Him. Not requests to gain things, or favor. But requests for God to lead, comfort and guide Jesus' disciples, and for all who will become believers to be unified with God as a result of the disciples' efforts. We are still disciples today. Are we fulfilling Jesus' prayer here? Or are we falling short because we are afraid, or lazy? Are we operating in the world, yet not OF the world as Jesus was and as He asked for us to be? Or do we look so much like the world that they cannot tell us apart from themselves?
