Pray for Unity

Good morning!  Have been reading in Acts lately and it's been impressed upon me to pray for unity in the Body of Christ.  When Christ came He died for everyone.  Salvation is for everyone.  When He ascended back into heaven He promised us His Holy Spirit to empower and guide us.  There were no Baptists, Lutherans or Catholics.  They were just followers of Jesus Christ.  How did things get so crazy?  Faith in Christ should unify us yet man has separated us.  Here's what the Word says about it:
"3 Always keep yourselves united in the Holy Spirit, and bind yourselves together with peace.4 We are all one body, we have the same Spirit, and we have all been called to the same glorious future. 5 There is only one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 and there is only one God and Father, who is over us all and in us all and living through us all." Ephesians 4:3-6 NLT
How can we expect to win the lost when we can't even agree amongst ourselves?  We all read the same Bible and we serve the same Lord.  Maybe we should focus on that instead of our differences.

Hopefully today's post will challenge us all to pray for unity in the Church.  May you all have a blessed day in the Lord.
