A Prayer for Church Unity

Jessica Van Roekel

Unity is worth guarding. Once disunity happens, it can be challenging to regain harmony. The Apostle Paul wrote to the Ephesians from a Roman prison. In Rome, he was not free to visit or leave the house. He reminded them of Jesus Christ’s provision and challenged them to live their daily lives in keeping with spiritual realities. Paul stated that the Church and the lives of the believers fully reflect Christ. I love a good “how-to” list because it helps focus my mind and actions to live with intention. Our world distracts us from living Christ-centered, our hearts oriented towards Christ and his ways. God desires for us to experience transformation from the inside out, giving us a set of virtues to live worthy of the calling we’ve already received. Let's pray.
