Day 12 of 21 Days of Praying Like Jesus
Day 12: John 17:20-23
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.”
Prayer Lesson: Unity is the clear theme of Jesus’ prayer for the believers in vs. 20-23. Jesus uses the word “one” four times in these four verses. On multiply occasions He uses the example of Himself and the Father, who perfectly modeled relational unity. Jesus reveals two reasons unity is important at the end of v. 23: So the world may know Jesus and God’s love for them. Our loving unity with each other is a powerful witness to the world.
Prayer for Today: Is there a lack of unity in your life? With a spouse, sibling, coworker, or person at church? Unity has eternal ramifications. As the apostle John put it in John 13:35: “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” Take time to pray for unity in your home life, work life, and church life.
