All I Have is Yours, Lord – Lectio Divina



I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me,
for they are yours. 

All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them.
John 17: 9-10 (NIV)



 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine.

Lord I absorb Your words from this week’s Gospel. I am awed with Your prayer for Your disciples…for us… for me.

What a prayer of loving surrender: 
All I have is yours, and all you have is mine.

May this also be my prayer from deep within me: 
All I have is yours, and all you have is mine.

All I cling to within my soul.
Everything my heart cherishes.
My treasures I think I must need.

 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine.

I love the intimacy of this prayer, Lord.
Its words draw me near to Your welcoming arms.
My heart beats in unison with Yours as I breath this prayer.

All I have is yours, and all you have is mine.

All I have is yours, Lord.
