Today's Prayer: Lord, where would I be without my brothers and sisters in Christ? As we move into a time of prayer, ask the Lord to reveal areas of your own life that you have been reluctant to share with the Body. Ask Him to speak life and truth into these areas. Ask Him to deepen your faith and allow you to trust Him in the vulnerability of sharing your gifts with others. Lord, we know that your ways are better than our own. We know that your ways alone bring fullness of joy. We confess our attempts to live in isolation, despite your command to live as one body. We confess our attempts to withhold our gifts. Unwilling to be vulnerable. Unwilling to risk rejection. You have given us a better way. You have given us the gift of a New Family. Through your Spirit, you have made us one. Thank you for allowing us to reflect your glory as we live as one body. As we walk through our day, remind us that your Word tells us that “two are better than one.” Remind us that your strength and perfection are made known as we live in unity. Deepen our understanding of what it means to belong fully to one another today. Remind of us our need for you. Remind us that your ways are better. For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever…AMEN.
