A Prayer for the Church

I pray that we would serve the one true God in Spirit and in Truth unified through the bond of peace.  Let us always use Your Word as our reference point and never rely on our own abilities.  We can do nothing apart from Christ.  I pray that we would promote unity in the Body and that each member would know what role it plays and not be a stumbling block.  I pray that we will always keep Christ as the head of the Church and not wash over topics that could be fierce to tackle.  I pray over the leadership of our churches and that they would be given the knowledge they need to lead their congregations through anything that would come.  I pray that our worship would be a sweet, sweet sound in your ear and that it would not be a stumbling block to anyone as well.  I pray that we always glorify, always praise, and always learn in Your presence.  Help us to be reverent, but also praiseworthy.  I lift up the Church and it's Angels and pray for unity and healing amongst all believers.  In the name of Jesus, whom we come to praise.  Amen
Luke 9:23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.
