Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it (Psalm 34:14; NLT).
“I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one – as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one” (John 17:21-2; NLT).
God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God (Matthew 5:9; NLT).
Lord Jesus,
Please help us,
In this troubled world,
To overcome our hatred and division.
May we seek peace,
And maintain it,
Like true children of God.
For then we will all be one,
As you and the Father
Are One.
We ask this
Through your precious name,
Amen.
