Phillipians

2:1 Therefore, if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort provided by love, any fellowship in the Spirit, any affection or mercy,
2:2 complete my joy and be of the same mind, by having the same love, being united in spirit, and having one purpose.
2:3 Instead of being motivated by selfish ambition or vanity, each of you should, in humility, be moved to treat one another as more important than yourself.
2:4 Each of you should be concerned not only about your own interests, but about the interests of others as well.
2:5 You should have the same attitude toward one another that Christ Jesus had

Romans

12:18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all people.
12:19 Do not avenge yourselves, dear friends, but give place to God’s wrath, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
12:20 Rather, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing this you will be heaping burning coals on his head.
12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.



Lord you are our well, our source, and our savior, help us maintain a united spirit, with your glorification as the purpose and ultimate goal. Help us not to protest your will, allowing evil and strife to destroy what you have united. Help us to concetrate and focus on your purpose, giving you the glory of our salvation. Open our hearts, help us to restrain the evil of anger, deceit, and confusion, so we will be able to share your love with each other. Help us not allow bitterness and anger to blind our eyes, and harden our hearts.
