🙏🏾 “One Love”

(Ephesians 4:1–8 ✝️ | Galatians 5:22–23 ✝️ | Song of Solomon cadence)

Father in Heaven,
I pray in Jesus Christ✝️ name
that as Your 🕊️ Holy Spirit rests on us today,
May you gather our hearts into One Love—
the kind that starts in heaven,
flows through Christ,
and lands gently in the lives we live.

As 👍🏾we🕊️ Lord, our intent,
is to understand our doctrine through Your Love—
not by words alone,
but through the lifestyle of a living epistle
As Scripture comes alive inside us.

In the doing of it, Lord, we can
“Walk worthy of the vocation wherewith 👍🏾we🕊️ are called—
with lowliness, meekness, longsuffering,
forbearing one another in love.”
As You✝️ teach 🕊️ us 👍🏾
to lead with God✝️’s Love,
Then 👍🏾we’ll🕊️ speak
with patience, walk with meekness,
and forgive with grace.

Help 👍🏾us🕊️ understand that in the Body of Christ✝️ we are one.
Because we only have—
One Love… that’s You✝️ Lord… One Spirit… and One Faith… that allows us to believe and live this day.

You told us there is one Body and one Spirit,
and we’re all called into the one hope of our calling
not divided, not competing,
but united, and ignited
With harmony from Songs of Solomon,
where love burns like flame,
steady, everlasting,
Where “many waters cannot quench it.”

So let Your Love be the fire that fuels our unity,
It’s everlasting anyway! That’s proper✝️ fire!
that LEADs to peace that binds our calling.

Father, we purpose in our hearts
to accept the gifts, talents, and abilities
You placed in the Body of Christ✝️.

Lord✝️, You gave gifts to this man👍🏾
and the rest of us to be explored as
treasures in our clay,
abilities in our hands,
purpose in our steps,
and fruit in our branches:

Love✝️, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness,
faith, meekness, temperance—
fruit the world can taste and know
it came from You✝️

So now because Jesus Christ✝️ died and rose again, we know
the devil’s plan failed twice—
first at the cross,
then at the resurrection,
Then the consequence of failed plans
Led to Your✝️ Love spread across the earth
like seeds in open fields.
Springing up just what we need to draw 👍🏾us🕊️
To you, the source✝️ of all flavor,
Our tender plant
Our root from dry ground that establishes who we are to this world.

Now God✝️’s Love is everywhere—
scattered in every heart You✝️ touch,
planted in every soul You save,
rooted in every “Yes, Lord.”

Lord✝️, if we have ever loved anyone,
it’s because You✝️ taught us how.
One Man. One Savior. One sacrifice.
To show 👍🏾is🕊️One Love.

Ultimately, Lord, help us establish
our oneness with You✝️ through the Holy Spirit.
Bind our minds, bind our hearts, bind our will
into the unity of Your peace.
Make us one with You
so we can be one with each other.

As Jesus prayed,
“Make them one, even as We are one.”

Let every gift You placed in us
flow with humility,
serve with purpose,
and shine Your✝️ Love
in every corner of our church.

Because of Jesus Christ✝️,
we have what it takes
to Love like God✝️
in this world.
And with that Love,
we teach one another
to lead, to build, to heal—
always aligned with Your✝️ Truth.

So Father, may Your One Love
be our doctrine,
our ministry,
our unity,
our melody,
our reason,
and our rhythm.

In Jesus Christ✝️ name we pray,
And give thanks.
Amen.
