Glory!

Prayer that pleases God
John 17:1 “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you.” Jesus did what he did in a perfect way. This included the way in which He prayed. When He asked the Father to bless Him in some way, He always had, first and foremost, the Father’s glory in mind. …
