<div><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">“The wonderful prayer”</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">Christ prayed for all his followers that they may be one as he and his heavenly Father are one. But he recognizes that we may be under attack and need his prayerful protection. So Jesus prays to his Father to protect us who are in the world of darkness.</span></div>
