In Chapter 17 Jesus prays: for himself; for His disciples; for those who will believe.Jesus’ prayer illustrates the sort of _________________________ and _________________________ we can approach the throne with.

Prayer is both present and _________________________.

Prayer is not an exercise, it is the life.Our prayers are heard, not because we are in earnest, not because we suffer, but because Jesus suffered.Prayer is not logical, it is a mysterious moral working of the Holy Spirit.It is impossible to conduct your life as a disciple without definite times of secret prayer.Prayer is not getting things from God, that is the most initial stage; prayer is getting into perfect communion with God; I tell Him what I know He knows in order that I may get to know it as He does.-Oswald Chambers-
