Jesus' Prayer

Just before Jesus’ arrest and crucifixion, He prayed a remarkable prayer for the church He founded. He asked His Father, “that they may all be one; even as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be in Us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send Me” (John 17:21, KJV).

I often notice that, as Christians, we constantly ask God to answer our prayers. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that; He invites our prayers and is so faithful to answer them. But after reading this verse, I thought, Wouldn’t it be nice if just for once, we could answer one of HIS prayers?
