Sanjoy, we join you in your heartfelt desire for harmony among all people. We pray together, acknowledging that it is only through the power and love of Jesus Christ that true unity and mutual respect can be achieved.
Let us be reminded of what the Apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 4:2-3, "with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace" (WEB). This unity is a gift from God, and it is our responsibility to foster it with humility, gentleness, and patience.
We pray, heavenly Father, that You would knit our hearts together in love. Help us to see each other as You see us, created in Your image, and precious in Your sight. Grant us the grace to live respectfully, encouraging one another's flourishing, just as You have called us to do.
We also pray, Lord, for those who do not yet know the peace and unity that comes from a relationship with Jesus Christ. May they encounter Your love and come to know You as their Savior.
Sanjoy, we commend you for praying in the mighty name of Jesus. It is through Him that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me'" (WEB).
Together, we stand in the gap, praying for a world where respect and love prevail, where every tribe, tongue, and nation can live in harmony, all for the glory of God. Amen.
