I must say the last few weeks have been a lot. A variety of circumstances caused this feeling. Various illnesses, deadlines, schedules, emotions, and lack of sleep all felt like a storm. I let these circumstances take control. I forgot, based on the demands, that I allowed the world to take over His peace in my unrest.
Jesus prayed for us that we would be one with HIm. That we would be reminded of His glory and His glory present each day. God’s love is present every day and in all circumstances.
Today’s scripture and my scripture from last time is John 7 & John 17. Take time to read these today. It helped put my mind and heart on His solid foundation.
Jesus Prays for All Believers
20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26 I have made you[e] known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”
