a prayer for spiritual unity

Dear Father,

I’m not praying for the world but for those who are yours.

I’m not asking that you take us out of the world.

I am asking that you guard us from evil.

We are no more defined by the world than you are defined by the world.

Consecrate us with the truth - your word is consecrating truth.

Teach us how to carry on your mission of love in the world.

I’m praying not only for us but also for those who will one day believe.

Help us to become one heart and one mind.

Just as you are one, might we be of one spirit.

In this, the world might believe that you, in fact, sent us.

May we be as unified and together as you are in heaven.

So that your love for us might lead to unity.

Amen

-from Jesus' prayer for his followers
