America's great need is Unity In Diversity without which she will not survive.
How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!
Psalm 133:1 (NIV)
The United States Motto "E Pluribus Unum is Latin for "out of many, one" refers to the fact that the United States was formed as a cohesive single nation as the result of the thirteen smaller colonies joining together.
The Church (Body of Christ) an Example. "18 But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it. 19 How strange a body would be if it had only one part! 20 Yes, there are many parts, but only one body..... 25 This makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members care for each other." 1 Corinthians 12:18-20 &25 (NLT)
The warning of Jesus the consequences. "Knowing their thoughts, He told them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is headed for destruction,...."" Matthew 12:25 (HCSB)
The Challenge for all of America the response. " Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind." 1 Peter 3:8 (ESV)
Heavenly Father you have shown us that the only true answer to division in humanity is unity in Christ: " 26 For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. & 28 There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:26 & 28 (NLT)
Father I pray, as we are so encircled by disease, debt and national dysfunction, that there will be an overwhelming recognition of our desperate need of you. Father, we have no answer but you, no hope but you, no healing but you, and no unity of soul, spirit and mind but you!
Father we implore you, based on your promise, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV),
Father hear our prayer, and glorify yourself in the demonstration of your great compassion and gracious mercy. Through Jesus our Savior we pray. Amen.
