Intercessory Prayer for Unity
Faithful God, I intercede for those who need unity and harmony in their lives. I pray that You would make them one as You are one with Your Son and Your Spirit; that they may be one in You and one with each other; that the world may believe that You have sent Your Son.
Lord, be their unity and their bond of peace, their fellowship, and their communion. May they maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace; being eager to preserve it with all humility and gentleness; with patience; bearing with one another in love; making every effort to keep it through the peace that ties you together. May they love one another with a pure heart fervently; being of one mind; having compassion one of another; being courteous. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
This prayer is based on John 17:21, which records Jesus’ prayer for His disciples: “that they may all be one; just as you, Father are in me; and I am in you; that they also may be one in us; so that the world may believe that you sent me.”
