Conclusion
With the current global society characterized by relativism, it has become important to achieve unity as has never been before. As elaborated in this article, these 30 prayer points should be utilized by the people as well as the community for interaction with the almighty for harmony. Humble guts or supplication is the call to god to intervene in our individual as well as family, communal as well as global lives and heal the brokenness.
However, prayer for peace and unity is not only a personal devotion but a duty that the children of God can perform collectively to usher in changes in society. Through consistent prayer for these virtues, one discovers the secret of God’s will and is used by Him to bring change into society. Every prayer point is credited to the Word and after stating the prayer point, it becomes an action that should be carried out in modern fellowship interactions.
These prayers help us to understand that despite these challenges that seek to divide us, peace starts from our heart, our relationships, in communities, and eventually the world. We pray for unity meaning we want the Lord to bring us together regardless of the cultural/ political divide or any other divisions that have been created between us and see us as his creation. In addition, saying a prayer for peace and unity creates a psychological state of pardon and love.
It inspires us to make peace in our circles of influence and go looking for opportunities to reconcile when conflicts arise, and we learn to deal with them more calmly and patiently. This spiritual discipline steadies us in our determination to accommodate others with whom we may disagree or have discord.
