Day 18: Jesus’ Prayer for Unity
Jesus said: “My prayer is not only for them.” I also pray for those who will believe in me via their word, that they may all be one, Father, as you are in me and I am in you. — John 17:20-21
On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus prayed not just for His followers but for all future Christians, including ourselves. His highest wish was for us to be united as one body, just as He is with the Father.
This demonstrates that unity among believers is at the heart of Jesus’ plea. Too frequently, we let differences—whether in beliefs, backgrounds, or traditions—to divide us. But Jesus invites us to a higher standard: to love, forgive, and remain united in Him. Our togetherness serves as a witness to the world about God’s love.
Today, pray for more unity in your family, church, and among all Christ-followers. If you are divided in your feelings toward someone, ask God for the grace to seek peace and reconciliation. Let us match our prayers with Jesus’ desire: to be one in Him.
Reflection: Are there any relationships in your life that require healing? How can you be a source of unity and love for others around you? Take time today to pray for unity.
Fasting & Giving: Fast from mindless social media scrolling. Read Scripture instead.
