You have charged us to keep your commandments carefully. Oh that my actions would consistently reflect your decrees! -Psalm 119:4-5(NLT)
PRAYER FOR UNITY
A poem and essay by ILMA
Lord, help me whenever I allow myself to be confused
Remind me constantly to meditate on it and never refuse
Let my actions be consistent with your decrees
Allow me to let myself decrease and let you increase.
Grant me an obedient and patient heart that obeys
Never allow me to be lawless and go astray
I pray for all believers to let go of division
May we be strong enough to overcome all temptations.

Where there is unity, there is love, harmony and peace. In its absence, we experience conflicts, confusion, turmoil, pain and discontent. When there is no harmony in relationships, it may cease to exist. One of the most common reasons for divorce is that the house is divided in two. One cannot agree with the other half, hence, it separates them from the other. Most common reasons why chaos happens is when one doesn’t take responsibility for his or her actions and keeps on finding someone or something to blame. They go into the blame game and never admit to their contribution in harming he relationship. The bible says the we belong to a God of love. We don’t belong to the devil who creates division and lawlessness. He tricks us to break away from God.
