Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. And the same is true for our prayers. The words you speak to God reveal something about your heart. In John 17, on the night of his arrest, just hours before the cross, Jesus prayed. What do his words reveal about his heart? Astonishingly, we find ourselves there. Soon to be lifted up in shame, Jesus first lifted you up in prayer. It's a prayer for your protection from the spiritual dangers of a world set against the Lord and his own. And he begins by asking for his own glory. What does his glory have to do with your endurance? Everything. Look at John 17:1-5 to hear Jesus begin his prayer for you and pray, "glorify your Son."
