How good and pleasant it is
when God’s people live together in unity!
Psalm 133:1 NIV
***
The saddest thing that is happening now is the anger and bitterness Christians have toward one another. How God must grieve. Surely, we can do better! Surely, we must! Father, help us our of this pit of disunity!
***
Lord,
we pray that You would knit our hearts together with Your love,
transcending any differences that might divide us.
Help us to see one another through Your eyes,
with compassion and understanding.
Teach us to listen to each other’s perspectives
and to work together in harmony, despite our differences.
May our love for one another be a powerful testimony to Your grace
and a witness to the world of the transformative power of Your love.
Amen
***
Be completely humble and gentle;
be patient, bearing with one another in love.
Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
Ephesians 4:2-3 NIV
