Personal Prayer
Praise God for the mystery of the Trinity—a model of love, unity, and oneness. Give thanks that God is able to bring a spirit of oneness among you and other believers, “so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Rom. 15:5-6). Confess any comments, thoughts, or actions that may have led to division, rather than unity, between you and another Christian. Ask God to make you humble enough to see your own fault in strained relationships and to seek forgiveness and peace.
For Your Family and Friends
Pray that parents may be unified as they teach and discipline their children, creating a God-glorifying harmony in the home.
For the Church
Ask God to put his special protection around the staff and leaders of your church, so that Satan will not be able to bring division through misunderstanding, pride, or self-interest (Phil. 2:1-3).
For the Kingdom
Pray that church leaders from all nations will “agree with each other in the Lord” over potentially divisive issues (Phil. 4:2).
For People to Know Jesus
Intercede especially for churches in racially mixed neighborhoods, that their witness and harmony may be so powerful that they draw unbelievers of all backgrounds into God’s family.
