Father, how can we, as Your children, love brothers and sisters from various ethnicities and cultures when we are reluctant to come together? We make assumptions about how others think and feel without taking the time to get to know them. Help us to honor and glorify You, particularly when it goes against what others believe we should do and say. We desperately need You to work in us so that we live out the unity that is ours in Christ.

I pray that Your children will live out our new identity as a unified people in Jesus together as we express our rich multifaceted diversity

Jesus, my mind cannot fathom that You took our sins upon You, died a substitutionary death for humanity & bore God's wrath to forgive sins.

We are called to be ministers of Christ's reconciliation to all people groups and not just those who look and think like us.
