Pray with One Mind

"When they had entered the city, they went up to the upper room where they were staying; that is Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.  These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers." -Acts 1:13-14 (NASB)
As a middle school teacher, it is fascinating to see the development of young people as they navigate their own beliefs and the social structures around them.  They want personal identities and relationships with their peers, but they also want to be part of the larger group.   Our spiritual growth and relationships can follow a similar course.

Our relationships with and beliefs in God can be very personal.  God wants each of us to know Him personally, but we also have shared experiences with other believers.  Jesus' closest followers each had a unique relationship with Him.  They were also joined together in their love of and respect for Jesus.  They shared the belief that He was the Messiah, a Savior for all of us.  As we each strive to have a personal relationship with God, we need to remember the shared experiences and beliefs that allow us to join together in praying with one mind!

Build your personal relationship with God and join with other believers in praying with one mind!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and listening to me.  Help me to continue to grow in my personal relationship with You and allow me to join together with other believers in shared experiences and beliefs.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
