Grace Discipleship: Pray for Unity in the Church
Lord God, Almighty, and Eternal Father:
We come before you from many and diverse stations in life. Grant us, Lord, that, despite our differences, we will be unified in you. In You we are one body made up of many different parts. We see the world from diverse aspects, but we seek to be one in our love for you. To share in your love towards us, and to love one another. Help us to grow in this love to become more Christlike . Father, grant us this blessing as we navigate through this life. In Jesus name, Amen. - Liz Adams
