Good Morning, God
The headlines today speak of the United Nations. This is the institution based in New York City where leaders and representatives of the nations of the world are meeting right now. The headlines today also speak of United Nations, the dream and desire that the nations of the world could just get along for the good of humanity.
Lord God, what a hope this is! What a desire this is! Even you have this desire – that all nations will beat their swords into plowshares and that nations would not make war against each other anymore. However, you also tell us that there will be no peace, no ceasing of wars, until all come to a knowledge of you, even a saving knowledge through Jesus Christ, your Son.
Heavenly Father, we seem to be farther away from this unity than ever before. We even champion “diversity” rather than working toward “unity”. So, Lord, we pray this day for the work of the United Nations to be an instrument of your desire that all may be one, just get along, and be reconciled with each other and with you, through Jesus Christ the Savior of the world.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
