Ephesians 2:11-22 | God's Heart for the Unity of His People

May the God of all hope and love be seen in our midst this week.

In days when words of fear abound,
may you find unity with your brothers and sisters
around the hope that we share in Christ,
for our Savior is risen and His Spirit lives in us today.

In days when words of hate abound,
may you find unity with your brothers and sisters
around the love that we share in Christ,
letting the love you’ve received from the Father
overflow to those around you.

May the Holy Spirit create in each of us
an eagerness to maintain unity
and bless us with the wisdom to know
when and how to speak and act
so that we might translate the heart of our King
into this world and thus see His Kingdom take shape around us.

May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up His countenance to you and give you peace.
