PRAYER
The Lord's Prayer for Disciples
John 17
These words spake Jesus, and lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said,
Father, the hour is come; glorify your Son, that your
Son also may glorify you:
2 As you have given him power over all flesh, that he should
give eternal life to as many as you have given him.
3 And this is life
eternal, that thet may know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you have sent.
4 I have glorified you on the earth: I have finished the
work which you gave me to do.
5 And now, O Father, glorify you me with youe own self
with the glory which I had with you before the world was.
6 I have manisfested your name unto the men which you gave
me out of the world.
7 Now they have known that all things whataoever you have
given me are of you.
8 For I have to them the words which you gave me; and they
have received them, and have known surely that I came out from you, and they have believed that you did send me.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but fot them
which you have given me; for they are yours.
10 And all mine are yours and yours are mine; and I am
glorified in them.
11 And now I am no more n the world, but these are in the
world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep through your own name those who you have given me, that they may be one as we
are.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your
name : those that you gave me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be
fulfilled,
13 And now I come to you; and these things i speak in the
world, that they might have my joy fulfilled n themselves.
14 I have given them your word; and the world has hated
them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray noy that you should take them out of the world,
but that you should keep them from evil.
16 They are noy of the world even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth.
18 As you have sent me into the world, even so have I also
sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also
might be sanctified through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which
will believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as you, Father, are in me,
and I in you, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that you have sent me.
22 And the glory which you gave me I have given them; that
they may be one, even as we are one:
23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be made perfect
in one, and that the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them, as you have loved me.
24 Father, I will that they also, who you have given me,
be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which you have given me: for you loved me before the foundation of the
world.
25 O righteous Father, the world has not known you, and
these have known that you have sent me.
26 And I have declared to them your name, and will declare
it: that the love where with you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.
Prayer of Jabez
1 Chronicles 4:10
And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest
bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil,
that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
