TOGETHER

JEREMIAH 31:10 (CEV)
I scattered the people of Israel,
but I will gather them again.
I will protect them like a shepherd
guarding a flock...

JOHN 17:20-21 (CEV)
I am not praying just for these followers. I am also praying for everyone else who will have faith because of what my followers will say about me. I want all of them to be one with each other...

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Jesus is pulling God's people together.

PRAYER
Gracious God, through Christ Jesus you are pulling your people together from every tribe, nation, and culture. I confess that I'm not always a good participant in your mission. In spite of what I say, I'm really locked into my way of doing things. I want to hear my hymns and worship in my way. Give me sensitivity and a heart for your full flock. Help me to set aside my known and unknown prejudices so that we can all be one. I'm not going to grip about how believers with different preferences do things. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name; your Kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
