A Prayer For Unity

We talk and pray about sharing our faith and reaching more people for the Kingdom of God, but what if we simply looked at the situation like this; We are missing some members of our extended family.  If we that are already together were truly unified, would that be the testimony the rest of the world is waiting for?

Seriously, how will we ever have the impact any of us dreams about if we can't get along well enough with each other, or those we hope to influence, to be noticeable?

Jesus prayed that we would be "one" as he and God the Father are one.  In his words, "Perfect Unity".  He implied that it was possible, that it would be proof to the world that he (Jesus) was sent from God, and proof that God loves al of us here on Earth as much as he loves his son Jesus.

When we pray, we believe that our prayer will be answered.  Wouldn't it be great to be the one answering for a change?
