Unity of the heart



Father we come by the blood of Christ to place our hearts before you. Anoint us today with the Spirit of revelation and the Spirit of wisdom to understand and see the vision that you have for unity in the church. Anoint us with the Spirit of grace and the Spirit of supplication to pray and to believe for unity in the Church.



Father pour upon our wounds and bruises your healing wine, work in us a deep healing, cleanse us from all the years of misunderstanding and divisions. Heal the church, and give deep healings and remove the bad fruits of those past hurts. Help us move beyond what others did, to what is Christ's will for the Church.



Father, pour upon our wounds and bruises your healing oil. As you have poured the wine to work deep healing, now restore us from all hurts in the past, that we can love again, and that we can wash our brothers' feet again, that we can sit down together and fellowship in the Lord.



Father we pray for unity in the local churches, unity in the cities among the churches, unity in the nations among Christian groups, and unity around the world in the church. True unity begins with the heart. Give us a desire for unity, plant the seeds for unity, give us unity in our hearts, and give us a vision for unity.



Father you see our hearts; you see the pain, hurts, unforgiveness, envy, pride, hate, and mistrust in our hearts. Heal our hearts, reform our hearts, change our hearts and give us hearts for unity. We must be in unity with you first, and then we must be in unity with our brothers from our hearts first. Do this work in our hearts, the work of unity in our hearts.



You desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden parts you will make known your wisdom. Father we ask you to give us truth and wisdom in our hearts about the unity of the church, Purge our hearts with hyssop, meaning faith, and we shall be clean, wash us from the so many divisions and setbacks against your will for the church in our hearts, and we shall be whiter than snow. Create in us a clean heart, a heart of unity for the church; renew a steadfast heart for unity in the church. Fill us with your presence for in your presence there is the unity of the church. Help us to learn from the errors and past mistakes of divisions and strife as you have broken our hearts to receive the vision for the unity of the church. Thank you for the contrite heart that you have given to us, so now we can love and see the other groups in the church. Unity first begins in the heart; begin this work in every member in the body of Christ.



For you love unity, for you love the love in our hearts that you have given to each one of the members in your church. Thank you for creating a contrite heart, teaching us the fear of the Lord and giving us grace to tremble at your Word. Praise the Lord that through the Holy Spirit in us Christ dwells in us, the hope of glory.



Raise up the church to obey her destiny. Bring the church to the unity of the faith, teach us unity today, fill us with love for each other in Christ, fill your church with your glory, that your church will become a glorious church.



Wash, cleanse, and sanctify by your Word and the Holy Spirit from all spots, wrinkles, or any such things, and make the church holy and without blemish.



Father give us a heart for unity, give us a vision for unity, fill our hearts with your love that you have for the church. Fill your church with your unity, your love and your glory and power with great grace.



In Jesus name we pray amen.
