Biblical Prayer Focus:
John 17:20-21 I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.

Seek with Jesus the heavenly Father, asking that your family and your church (and all Christians) might be truly one. Ask the Lord to send such a unity that the world around us would come to know that the Father sent the Son for their salvation.
