Who is prayer for?


After John 17:26

Who was the prayer for?
A prayer that those
who followed would be
like him, a prayer
that those unborn
who followed would be
like him, a prayer
that those who abide
in him would be
like him. He didn’t pray
for fans or superstars
or great speakers or
stadium fillers or 
bestselling writers.
He prayed for those
who would follow, that
his life might shape them,
shape us.
