10 Prayers for Unity

Unity means choosing love even when we're not the same. Whether it's in your family, friends, or church, unity may feel fragile. We clash with others.

The Holy Spirit is bringing people together under Jesus' name. These prayers are for moments of division, disconnection, or conflict. Let them lead you back to God's call for oneness.
