Prayer Point - Unity
Encouragement
Let us wait together in prayer so the Holy Spirit himself will reveal our new leader as we first humble our minds, our expectations, our biases and our concerns, placing them at God’s feet, trusting that He knows who He needs to send to us. Let Him decide our new pastor as he sees our spirit of unity.
Eph. 4:2-6
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
Rom.15:5-6
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Phil. 2:2
then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.
Prayer
Dear Lord Jesus,
Please make this so in our midst today. Thank you for giving us a faithful pastor all these years and for blessing us with his heritage of humble servanthood. Help us now to seek humility and unity among ourselves. Lord, make us that kind of body, make us a family ready to accept and do your will, to see your new purpose for us and to go forth boldly in Spirit and Truth. Lord, call us to a spirit of unity we pray in Jesus Name. TO GOD BE THE GLORY. Amen and Amen.
