World Day of Prayer

World Day of Prayer

Reflection

“I, then, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace.” –Ephesians 4:1-3

Prayer

Spirit of unity,

On World Day of Prayer, we invite your spirit to fill us once again. That we might become more patient, gentle, and humble with our words and deeds. Help us bear with one another through love and strive always to preserve the unity of your spirit among us through the bond of peace. For the sake of those we have the privilege of serving and for the sake of those serving beside us, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Recognize the theme of World Day of Prayer today by committing to express patience and tolerance towards all those with whom I share my life and work.
