Psalms 133:1Please pray with me:
Behold, how good and how pleasant [it is] for brethren to dwell together in unity.
Philippians 2:2
Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be like-minded, having the same love, [being] of one accord, of one mind.
Heavenly Father,
The nation seems to be falling apart. As a whole, it seems that we are intent on turning from our heritage as a Christian nation. The divisions, the fractures are deep and have permeated every area of our society. Our self-control seems to have evaporated to the point that we make ourselves foolish in the eyes of the world.
As a believer in Jesus Christ, I struggle. How can I help? What can I do? What would YOU have me do in this situation? Help Lord.
Yet, Your Word clearly bids us to unity. It is Your pleasure when we dwell in unity. You demonstrate perfect unity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. ...so You have not left us without direction or guidance. Thank You.
You are unified and You desire us to be unified. Your Word teaches us to be like-minded, having the same love, and to be in "one accord"...so we are to unify ourselves through love. Truly, the media reports make this most difficult. We need Your help. Grant us prayers for those around us, for those in the news. Grant us prayers for our families, our neighbors, our communities, and for this nation. Here my prayer for help. We cannot do this on our own.
But Christ has made it possible. Christ has shown Your love for us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Sacrifice. Pour out Your Spirit on Your church in the U.S. with a sacrifice of praise.
Open our hearts to love each other. May our love begin in our families— may we truly love one another. May it spread throughout our churches— may we truly love one another. Father, establish Your love in us through our words and actions that others may see and "know that we are Christians by our love." Please help us to quiet our judgement and squelch any condescension.
Teach us, daily, to learn to love and to praise You for the work You will do in our hearts. Transform Your church into a powerful influence into this society. Open our eyes to take ownership of our silence that has allowed the changes in this nation. Help us to do our part— may we truly love one another and may that love capture those who seek, that they too may find You.
Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.
In Jesus’ Name.
