Sunday Supplication - Bind Us Together

Almighty God, we thank you for Your church and the strong foundation you have given us through the Scriptures. We thank you for the prophets and the apostles and most of all for Jesus Christ who is, himself, the chief cornerstone. As followers of Jesus, we ask you to bind us together in unity of spirit that as your people we might be a temple filled with your Spirit.

Thank you for your promise to forgive and purify us. Thank you for being the one who saves. Forgive us our sins. Renew us by your Spirit. Show us how to act, think, and live as Christ.  As you have forgiven us, make us merciful and ready to forgive those who have sinned against us.

May our love and devotion to you, O God, result in goodness and grace to everyone around us. Help us to walk so closely with you that our lives become a beam of light that gives witness of your goodness and grace to the world.

Through Christ, we pray. Amen.
