A Prayer about the One God Who Unites Diverse People

 In that day Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth, whom the Lord of hosts has blessed, saying, ‘Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.’ -Isaiah 19:24–25 (ESV)

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

Isaiah stunned the Israelites 

by prophesying that fierce enemies, 

Egypt, Assyria, and Israel, 

would one day be blessed and gathered by you 

as one people to worship and glorify you.

You, diverse in person and yet wholly one God, 

united in purpose, 

have spread your glory over all the earth. 

You have reconciled sinners to yourself, 

you are redeeming the entire cosmos, 

and you are healing every division.

If the Egyptians and Assyrians and Israelites 

will one day gather together to worship you, 

surely we can move beyond 

political, racial, economic, and even theological differences 

to worship and glorify your name. 

Make us one as you are One, Holy Trinity.

In Jesus’ reuniting name. Amen. 

Read Isaiah 19:23-24; Galatians 3:7-9; Ephesians 2:11-22; Revelation 7:9-10.
