It explains exactly why you are where you are: Jesus has prayed that you may be one with him, as he is one with the Father. Jesus isn\u2019t leaving you all alone; he is <em>getting<\/em> you alone with him, so that his prayer for oneness might be answered. Are you helping God to answer Jesus\u2019s prayer? Or do you have some other goal for your life? Since you became a disciple, you cannot be as independent as you used to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of us think God\u2019s entire purpose is to answer our prayers. But there is only one prayer that God must answer, and that is the prayer of Jesus: \u201c. . . that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.\u201d Are you this intimate with Jesus?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God isn\u2019t concerned about our plans. He doesn\u2019t say, \u201cDo you want to go through this trial? Do you want to suffer this loss?\u201d He allows things to happen to us for his own purposes. Either the things we go through make us sweeter, better, and nobler, or they make us more critical and fault-finding, more insistent on having our own way. Either trials and difficulties make us fiends, or they make us saints; it depends entirely on our relationship with God. If our relationship to him is one in which we always say, \u201cYour will be done,\u201d then we will have the consolation of John 17. We will know that our Father is working according to his wisdom and toward his ends, and this will prevent us from becoming mean and cynical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus has prayed for nothing less than absolute oneness with him. Some of us are far from this state of oneness, but we can be sure that, because Jesus has prayed that it may be so, God won\u2019t leave us alone until it is.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are walking a lonely path just now, read John 17.
