PRAY FOR HAITI DAY 39
GLOBAL PRAYER INITIATIVE OF HAITIAN CHURCHES
Theme Verse 2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Eph 4:2-3 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. The third thing we need for unity to be present among us is patience with each other. When different people or groups come together to work, we all have a way of doing things that we think is the best. When the other person or group try their way we tend to lose patience because we are not familiar with their way. We tend to become agitated and critical in our comments. We must remember patience is a virtue we must learn to develop for it has great rewards, Romans 2:7 to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; The forth thing is bearing with each other in love. There are times where we will get on each other’s nerves and under each other’s skin; nevertheless, we are required not only to bear with each other but to do it in love. That takes a deep level of understanding and patience. We must understand that we are very different from each other and when you do something that I disagree with, I should not take it too personal just so we can preserve the unity. Though this requires lot of prayers and self control, it is necessary for the preservation of unity.
PRAY: Ask the Lord to help you develop patience with those who are different than you.
ACT: Begin by being patient with yourself.
With U4 Him
