I'm not sure who originally said that "The family who prays together, stays together." But I think that's often true. Praying together has the power to unite. It's you being on the same page as the others you're with, petitioning God for His work in your life.
I think the same could be said about the family of Christ who prays together. Prayer is bonding. Across varying denominational backgrounds, brothers and sisters in Christ come together when they pray together.
And I'm not the only one who would love to see the body of Christ unite in this way more often. And more deeply. Last week, a friend shared his passion to see the body of Christ come together around the issue of life. So encouraging. And fire-up-ing.
"To fear the Lord is to hate evil."
"All who fear the Lord will hate evil."
-Proverbs 9:13 (NIV, NLT)
Father God, May we as Your people rise up against evil. May we see the body of Christ in the Quad Cities come together and pray together. May we see the family of God call come together to lift You up, and to unite in prayer for our abortion workers. May You bring those workers out of the abortion industry and into the light. Into a place where they can truly help the women they are serving. Father God, May we see a united front for life in our churches, among Your people.
