As believers, We Are Called To Live In Unity with one another, but all too often people can deliberately or unintentionally quench our joy, causing our mind to spin out of control and our spirits to become discouraged, so we are called to let the Word of Christ dwell in us richly and to let Him guard our hearts. It is hard enough when the criticism and contention comes from the outside world, but when the unity of brothers and sisters in Christ is broken through false teachings or disagreements within the Body, the pain is so much greater. But in all cases, the sure remedy is to take every thought captive to Jesus. 'Unity' of the Body however should not be confused with 'uniformity'. Spiritual unity is from the heart. It comes from within, it is guided by the Spirit of God, and founded upon the Word of God. Uniformity is a reaction to the outside pressures of a worldly mindset. It compromises the truth of God's Word and is spawned from a carnal worldview. Let us seek to keep away from contention, factions, strife, and selfishness which are so often birthed from pride, conceit, arrogance, or ignorance, and let us live a spirit of lowly humility where we regard the needs of others as more important than our own. Let us submit to the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives and walk in spirit and truth so that we may live godly in Christ Jesus. Let us seek to live in total dependence on our Heavenly Father and in godly unity with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Philippians 2:5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, what a glorious truth to realize that we are new creations in Christ and have the Holy Spirit of God living in us. Help us to live in complete dependence on You and in godly unity with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Keep us from contentions and strife, and help us to consider the needs of others before our own. Lord, we pray that the mind that was in Christ Jesus may dwell in us richly so that we may act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly before You, all the days of our lives. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.

Prayer
We are a growing group of people praying daily for and with others. We were led to start an online ministry to deliver what is needed more now than ever, a place where you can go to easily to submit a prayer request or requests involving others to pray for your needs. The Power of Prayer. Matthew 18:20- For where two or more come together in my name, there I am among them. You are never alone in prayer. The Power Of Numbers Praying.
We ask you to pray for this ministry, for its success in helping others in need of prayer. Archives
