O God of Ezra and Nehemiah Thank you for
reminding us about like-mindedness through the scripture "be of the same
mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind." Both
Nehemiah and Ezra became leaders after exilic period. We see quarrel between St.
Paul and Peter (Galatians 2:11-14) and separation of Paul and Barnabas (Acts
15:36-40), but scriptures did not record any
enmity/quarrel/differences/misunderstanding/bias and so on between Ezra and
Nehemiah. Both were contemporaries in rebuilding of wall and temple (Division
of labor). The perfect example of BODY OF CHRIST IN O T. Nehemiah concentrated
on Societal/political issues and Ezra focused on Religious reforms. O God of like-mindedness,
we pray that you grant us the same kind of like-mindedness in our family, church,
ministry, office, business, and relationships and so on... to carry out the
work assigned to us. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
