Wednesday: Further Reflection

Start with prayer. Ask God to impart to wisdom your mind, ask Jesus to relate the words to your soul, and ask the Holy Spirit to illumine your heart to their words.

Slowly read John 17 again. Read it out loud if possible.

Spend some time journaling/responding to the following prompts.

• What does it look like in your life to want unity?
• Where are those places that unity already exists?
• Where are those places that you long for unity?
• Where are those places that you know you need unity, but don’t want to seek it?
• How does Jesus’ prayer for unity inform your understanding of unity?
• What would it look like for you to invite Jesus’ prayer for unity into your daily prayers?
• Spend time praying for unity, write it out if it helps. Pray, like Jesus prayed, for the unity of His children.

End in prayer. Ask God to impart wisdom to your mind, ask Jesus to relate the words to your soul, and ask the Holy Spirit to illumine your heart to their words.
