May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus. –Romans 15:5 ESV
Sometimes it might feel like the world is falling apart and nothing is making sense. It can be hard to understand what is taking place. But this is when we need to seek God the most. We need to trust Him!God sees right into our hearts—that is where the change has to start. Even if we don’t have answers, He does. God is in control no matter what is taking place around us. Let us pray for God to open doors for us to walk through. We can ask Him to renew and fill us while bringing us to a place of peace—peace that is different from what the world offers. We need the peace that the Holy Spirit offers. In our darkest moments we need to turn to Jesus and expect Him to show up. There will be days when we feel broken and will struggle. On those days we need to ask God for help because that is when we need Him the most.May we forgive people who have hurt us, renew our hearts of compassion for others, and seek God’s help to walk in His ways.
Lord, I pray for unity in our country.
I want to love those around me even if they are different from me. Help me to be an agent of healing to my community by showing love to everyone on a daily basis.
