The disciples were not a star-studded bunch. They were slow to grasp what Jesus taught, and scattered in the hour of need, but Jesus never gave up on them. He spent some of his last hours on earth praying for them, asking God to finish the work he started. Of all the things they needed, Jesus thought they needed a little bit more prayer. Jesus prays the same things for us today, and we can be encouraged by what Jesus asked for them because he will do the same for us.
