His Prayer for Me

⁹"My prayer is not for the world, but for those you have given me, SHANNON AND JOYCE because they belong to you. ¹⁰All who are mine belong to you, and you have given them to me, You have given Shannon and Joyce to Me so they bring me glory. ¹¹Now I am departing from the world; they are staying in this world, but I am coming to you. Holy Father, you have given me your name; now protect them and by the power of your name so that Shannon and Joyce will be united just as we are. ¹² During my time here, I protected them by the power of the name you gave me. I guarded them so that not one was lost, except the one headed for destruction, as the Scriptures foretold." John 17:9-12
