Make Us One

We pray, O Father/Mother of all, that you will fill us all with the conviction that the gospel brings life for all.  Let your nearness inspire us to boldness, diligence, and patience.  May none of us rely on outward appearance or fleeting praise.  Make us one with all believers as we hold fast to the things which endure and rejoice in having experienced your presence in marvelous ways.  We pray in the name of Jesus.  Amen.
