God Desires Peace and Unity
Timothy ministered alongside
Paul as missionary & later received
the challenging assignment of
pastoring the church at Ephesus.
Paul’s 1st letter resembles a manual
for building church leadership.
It also contains many principles
to impact the lives of others.
Lord, we will Pray In Unity:
I urge you first of all to pray for
all people. As you make your
requests, plead for God’s mercy
upon them, and give thanks.
Pray this way for kings & all others
who are in authority so that we
can live peaceful and quiet lives…
This pleases God, who wants
everyone to be saved (1Tim 2:1-4)
I want men everywhere to lift up
holy hands in prayer, without
anger or disputing (v8). Amen.
Lord, thank You for your mercy
that brought me to salvation.
Thank you that can turn good
out of adversities, driving me
to my knees to root out pride
and produce humility. Pray for
mercy on pre-believers to lead
them to repentance & salvation.
And thank you that in your mercy
You use all things to fulfill your
eternal purpose. In His name, Amen
Lord, it is your desire for all
people to saved. And it is your
will that believers could enjoy
peace & freedom, thus enabling
them to share the gospel.
So cause us to remember to pray
for civil authorities so that they
govern well and there be peace.
And may we use the opportunity
to share Christ to others. Amen.
Lord, we realise that sometimes
Christians quarrel among ourselves.
We get caught up in unimportant
debates and useless arguments.
So Lord help us to be so devoted
to You that we maintain oneness
of the Spirit, even if we disagree
on certain things. I pray we will
be unified in our belief in Your
Word so that we will be unified
in our prayers before You. Amen.
