Father God,

Today, I pray for a reformation of community according to Your desires and purposes. I pray against the false views of community which have filled even our church, that look more like that of the world than of Your bride.
I pray that we as a people of God would once again learn what it means to love one another, to build one another up, to mourn together and to rejoice together. I pray that fellowship would extend far beyond the walls of a church building and fill the nooks and crannies of our lives.

I pray that our conversations would be filled with the realities of life as seen from the realities of a heavenly view. I pray that we would see and feel and think about life through Your Word and Spirit so that we would be knit together by eternal bonds rather than temporal bonds of this world’s distractions.

May Your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.

In Christ’s Name,

Amen.
