Unity

Our mission is to put on display the true hope of Jesus. One of our key values that will help us accomplish our mission is living relentless in prayer. To live out of this value we want to institute Thursdays as important corporate day of Prayer and Fasting for True Hope Collister.  On these days we unite our voices around a central theme connected to our vision and pray together in an effort to discern God’s will for our church.

This week we focus our prayer on UNITY.

Fasting: Consider fasting a meal and utilizing that time to pray specifically through this guide.

Today’s Scripture: John 17:20-23

20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.

Reflect: Jesus’ prayer for unity is a prayer asking our oneness to mirror the oneness of Jesus and the Father. Why is unity so important?

Pray: Utilize this passage and turn it into your personal prayer, asking God to bring oneness around this decision on whether or not we should build this building.  Pray over our owners meeting/Family Celebration in August and ask God’s spirit to lead, guide, and direct that meeting to accomplish his will not our own!

Pray over True Hope Collister: Pray the above prayer today, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday without ceasing!
