The close relationship between the Father and the Son

Seek reconciliation and shared life with other believers

Avoid difficult relationships so division cannot deepen

Keep faith private and leave unity to leaders

Win every disagreement so everyone ends up the same

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I confess that I have sinned and gone my own way. I need your mercy and your saving love. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and open my life to you. Bring me into your life with the Father, make me new, and be my Lord. Amen.

Become One With You

Lord, revive your Church and make us one again. Heal our pride, suspicion, and rivalry. Draw us into your shared life, and let our unity become a clear witness so the world may believe that you sent Jesus. Awaken love where we have grown cold, and make us a people who point to Christ together, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Make Your Church One Again

Thank God for the believers who have shown you what unity looks like; for friendships that cross differences; and for the ways the church can reflect Jesus when it stands together.

Thank You for Shared Life

Pray by naming one relationship where division or distance has grown. Ask God for humility, courage to listen, and one small step toward peace and shared purpose.

Pray for One Relationship

Pray for believers in your church, city, and around the world: that differences would not divide them, that they would love one another well, and that their shared life would make Jesus believable to those watching.

Unity That Points to Jesus

Father, where I am tempted to withdraw, judge, or compete, give me a humble and peacemaking heart. Show me how to seek reconciliation, speak with grace, and live for the good of your people. Make my life part of the unity Jesus prayed for, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Help Me Pursue Oneness
