Unity in Prayer

Unity in Prayer What is one thing that every denomination has in common? Despite stylistic differences, we reach out to God through prayer. If we are going to see Jesus at work through our generation, then we need to be united around a clear purpose. That’s what we see in this scripture: believers gathered together to pray. There was no spiritual elitism going around in Jesus’ family because the cross had leveled the playing field. They were united and speaking the same language: prayer. Just as language must be the common denominator for a group of people to able to achieve anything they propose to do, so must prayer be at the center of the church’s work. Prayer can never be peripheral—it’s what unites us. When we don’t see the whole picture, prayer binds us to the One who’s painting on the canvas of history, linking us together as a family to our heavenly Father! So before we pursue any endeavor or set ourselves on any purpose, let’s come together before our Father in prayer. He hears us and knows what we need before we even ask.
