PRAYER FOR YOUR CHURCH
|
Connectivity with the Church around the world
Lord, I lift up the Church universal. Father, we claim the power of Your name over us so that we will be one, as You and Your Son are one. We want Your joy in full measure just as Your Son, Jesus, prayed for us. Help us live as though we are not of this world; sanctify us by Your word. May we be brought to complete unity so that the world will know the truth of the gospel. (Jn. 17:11-23)

He came up with 10 reasons--most of them beyond the obvious spiritual dynamics of praying together--that are benefits to churches that try to move people toward corporate prayer. |
