0:00.0	Our great example and instructor in prayer is the Lord Jesus Christ.
0:13.0	In God's Word, we find everything we need to develop a life of prayer.
0:18.0	Join Scott Pauli today as we study the Bible together.
0:23.6	What is the greatest thing you could pray for those you love today?
0:31.6	We've come to the end of John chapter 17, this great high priestly prayer of Jesus for his followers. And notice how Jesus
0:39.9	concludes his prayer. John chapter 17 beginning in verse number 24, Father, I will that they also

1:59.1	the greatest thing in the world. It, the greatest thing in the world.
