Sing to the LORD a new song, for he
has done marvelous things! (Psalm 98:1)
15. Together, we pray:
In this Universal Week of Prayer for Christian Unity let us pray
that the disciples of Jesus everywhere may be one, so that all people
may believe in the love of the Father who gave his only Son to be our
Savior.
For every congregation of the Church – that the Spirit of the
Lord may remove from between us the walls of separation. Lord, hear us.
For every congregation of the Church – that we may reach out to
meet one another and rejoice to find that we are brothers and sisters
in Christ. Lord, hear us.
For every congregation of the Church that we may all be one,
worshipping the Father as his beloved sons and daughters, in spirit and
in truth. Lord, hear us.
For every congregation of the Church – that we may commit
ourselves to the non-violent way of Jesus and transform society through
offering forgiveness and receiving peace. Lord, hear us.
For our Christian brothers and sisters in Jerusalem, other parts
of the Holy Land, and in parts of the world where they live in fear for
their liberty and their lives, because they profess Jesus as Lord and
Savior. Lord, hear us.
Father, unite all the congregations of the Church in Jesus your
Son, our Lord and Savior.
May Your will be done among us and Your kingdom come soon,
through him who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, forever and ever.
