I went to an exciting event last Sunday. Our community hosted a prayer gathering with pastors from different churches. This included people that look different than me. This diverse crowd praising God is what I think heaven will be like. We worshiped the Lord and prayed for healing on our community.

Psalm 120:1 is, “I took my troubles to the Lord; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer

Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015

Circumstances change when God’s people pray as one. People of different races came together to pray for reconciliation from past sins of racism. We also interceded for those suffering from COVID-19. Since leaving this event, I have faith God is the answer. He will use these uncertain and volatile times to unite Christians together.

One person can be overpowered, but two will stand and defend. “Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.” (Ecclesiastes 4:12, New Living Translation). I hope this is the start of true unity in my community. Together, we can start to heal wounds and work towards peace.
