John 17 is a masterclass in prayer, but few of us take the time to really examine what it talks about. Jesus prays for Himself, His Apostles, and the disciples at large, but He also prays for the work that He’s engaged in, as well as for the Apostles to develop strong trust in God’s Word.
And unity. He prays for the church to be united in purpose as a powerful testimony to the world.
Is that what we’re praying for? If not, maybe a quick re-examination of what Jesus prays about can help us focus on what we should be doing with our own life.

CloseEveryone wants to be a leader, but few are willing to make the sacrifices required in order to effectively lead people. Fewer still are willing to place themselves in a completely subservient position and put the interests of others ahead of themselves. But isn't that what Jesus did? As He Himself said: "I came not to be served, but to serve, and to give Myself as a ransom for many." Unless we embody the same mentality, we can never hope to lead those under our charge, no matter who that is.
