Lord God,

We pray for the restoration of the unity of the Church.

Give us a heart for Your people –

caring for one another as You care for us.

We live in trying times.

But Your word through Isaiah chapter 35 says,

“Be strong, do not fear; your God will come,

he will come with vengeance,

with divine retribution he will come to save you.”

Guide us as we share the message of Your saving grace.

In Jesus’ name we pray.

Amen.
