Prayer of Jesus

“I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity.” (John 17:22-23 NIV)

What does Jesus want for us as followers?
He wants us to have experiential knowledge of God and to glorify Him. He asks the Father to protect and sanctify us. He prays for shared purpose and unity in divine consciousness.

How much of what Jesus wants has manifested in my life?
I know of God. I hear, read, sing, and speak about Him frequently. However, my experience of the Holy is limited. I cannot claim to have a unified purpose with the rest of humanity. I’ve got a long ways to go.

How can I do my part in doing what Jesus wants?
I can pay attention. I can live in a way that Christ is revealed through me. I can allow the Holy Spirit to use me as an intercessor. I can detach from worldliness and immerse my mind in truth and goodness.

Lord, help me to experience all of You. May everything I say and do magnify You. Unify me with your divine consciousness, so that nothing separates us.
