A Call for Unity

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
(Colossians, 4: 2)
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and
the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he
who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
(Matthew, 7: 7-8)
The Torah reveals that praying is an important act of
worship, how prayers should be made, and that Allah an-
swers prayers:
The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in
truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear [and respect] Him;
He hears their cry and saves them. The Lord watches over all who
love Him. (Psalm, 145: 18-20)
I spread out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a
parched land. Answer me quickly... Let the morning bring me
word of Your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in You. Show
me the way I should go, for to You I lift up my soul. Rescue me
from my enemies, O Lord, for I hide myself in You. Teach me to
do Your will, for You are my God... in Your righteousness, bring
me out of trouble. (Psalm, 143: 6-11)
... if my people, who are called by my name, will humble them-
selves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked
ways…will forgive their sin and will heal their land.(2 Chronicles
7: 14)
" Hear my voice when I call, O Lord; ….Do not reject me or for-
sake me, O God my Savior.
…. Teach me your way, O Lord; lead me in a straight path be-
cause of my oppressors. (Psalm, 27: 7-11)
He prays to God and finds favor with him, he sees God's face and
shouts for joy; he is restored by God to his righteous state. (Job,
33: 26)
