Jesus prayed, “Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again” (John 12:28).
Jesus was about to face physical death. He felt every fear we would experience if we were about to face such an horrendous death. He told his disciples, “My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? “Father, save me from his hour?” But for this purpose I came to this hour.”
When we face either physical death or death of our dreams, we are wise to join in Jesus’ prayer, “Father, glorify your name.”
