Prayer
Lord, please grant me to understand the importance of unity in all aspects of my life. Teach me to seek after unity, even if that means having to give up my own desires and plans. Grant me a taste of the sweetness of unity, that I may strive for it always.
Open my eyes to see the importance of this virtue in my life and in my service. Never let me think that grand ideas and plans are worthwhile, if they come at the expense of unity. Grant that my family and I would live in unity all the days of our lives – so that this would be where you would command the blessing.
Protect our church from divisions. Shield us from fruitless and divisive debates. Amen.
