Bible reading: John 17 (NIV)
Prayer of Affirmation, by Studdert Kennedy
In all these things we can be more than conquerors through Him Who loves us, because through prayer He can pour into us the gift of the splendid, [unbroken and unstained] spirit. And it does not end there, for having poured it into us, He can, through our prayers for others, pour it through us into them. The splendid spirit can run through the people who really pray, like a stream of living fire, out into the world of men and women who need just that, and only that, for with that comes all that’s best worth having in this world.
