I’m glad Jesus took the time to pray for us before He went to the cross to die for us.
I’m ever so glad that most of His prayer is about that which will be done for us and in us.
But part of His prayer— the satisfaction, the sanctification, the separation, the unity and the love are dependent on us being willing to yield to His will for our lives—to be one with Jesus and The Father, to be intimate with them. That is awesome!
John 17:22-23 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
When we consecrate our life to God, our light will shine in a dark world, and they will see the love of Jesus through us.
Has His prayer been answered in your life?
