Prayer Day 7 of 8???   A Word from THE WORD!!! #283

As today is The Lord’s Day, I want to simply share a prayer for our soon-coming Lord and King.  One of the most beautiful prayers in scripture and Jesus prayed it for you and me; how can we do less for those around us!  The world needs the children of God to reflect His glory not the sad imitation of the world.

“These words spake Jesus,

 and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said,

Father, the hour is come;

glorify thy Son,

 that thy Son also may glorify thee:

2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh,

that he should give eternal life

to as many as thou hast given him.

3 And this is life eternal,

that they might know thee the only true God,

and Jesus Christ,

whom thou hast sent.

4 I have glorified thee

on the earth:

I have finished the work

which thou gavest me to do.  

5 And now, O Father,

glorify thou me with thine own self

with the glory which I had with thee

before the world was.

6 I have manifested thy name

unto the men which thou gavest me

out of the world:

thine they were,

and thou gavest them me;

and they have kept thy word.

7 Now they have known

that all things whatsoever thou hast given me

are of thee.

8 For I have given unto them the words

which thou gavest me;

and they have received them,

and have known surely that I came out from thee,

and they have believed that thou didst send me.

9 I pray for them:

I pray not for the world,

but for them which thou hast given me;

for they are thine.

10 And all mine are thine,

and thine are mine;

and I am glorified in them.

11 And now I am no more in the world,

but these are in the world,

and I come to thee.

Holy Father,

keep through thine own name

those whom thou hast given me,

that they may be one,

as we are.”  John 17:1-11

Thank you, Jesus for praying for me; may I be found faithful in praying for others!

“Rejoice evermore.

17 Pray without ceasing.

18 In every thing give thanks:

for this is the will of God

in Christ Jesus concerning you.

19 Quench not the Spirit.”  1 Thessalonians 5:16-19

Amen and Amen!!!
