Prayer for November 18: Please pray with me. Triune God, today we pray that you might unite us.  We aren’t looking for some kind of happy, happy, joy, joy, ignoring the challenges and division we face kind of unity Lord.  That’s just sugar coating what we face.  Turn us to face the truth that exists – that we separate each other, we divide ourselves, we fight one another.  We do these things for a variety of reasons, but in reality, it comes down to this – we have pushed you away along with others.  Turn us Lord to see you in those around us.  And in so doing, may we see what unites us all here on earth – that we are a part of your creation.  It is a vast creation with so many uniquenesses and differences, yet at the core, it is all yours.  Amen.
