Devotions From John's GospelSample
The ultimate purpose of Christian life and prayer is the glorification of the Father in the Son. Jesus’ invitation to the believers in verse 12 is to step into His shoes and live “His life” and glorify the Father as He is going to the Father. This is an invitation also to the church as a whole. Is this just about performing miracles or doing other acts of Jesus such as loving and serving? Jesus promises to grant “Whatever you ask”.
What are we going to ask? If the purpose of our prayer is to glorify the Father in the Son, (verse 13) how shall we change our prayer?
Dear sister, brother! Will you pray for your gratification or His glorification? What does it mean to ask “in Jesus’ name”? Is it asking what Jesus would approve or allow? Learn to think like Jesus before you pray!
Prayer
Jesus who taught us to pray, please give me your perspective to think like you, love like you and pray like you.
Jesus might say…..
My child, in prayer you speak with me or with the Father through me. I am with you when you pray. I know you and your concerns much better than you do! Do not forget to pray for all the things I care about.
