Welcome to those who are joining Day 18 of our journey toward unity in the Body of Christ!
Each day, we are counting backward through the Hebrew alphabet — preparing our hearts for the global gathering of prayer and reconciliation on September 22, 2025. Today we arrive at Hey, the 5th letter, a symbol of revelation, breath, and mercy. Hey reminds us that unity doesn’t begin with casual connection — it begins with God’s breath opening our eyes to see each other as He does.

What is Hey?
Hey (ה) carries rich meaning:
Behold: Hey is the letter of revelation. It calls us to open our eyes, to see what God is showing, and to pay attention to His presence.
Breath: Its sound is the breath of God, reminding us of the Spirit who gives life (Genesis 2:7; John 20:22).
Mercy: Hey reveals God’s great mercy — His willingness to meet us with compassion, even when we fall short. The Number Five: Hey’s value is five, the number of grace. Unity is only possible when grace covers our differences.
Hey and Unity
Unity requires more than surface-level connection. It’s not the shallow “hey” we toss around in passing. Hey is God’s call to behold each other — to see beyond offense, division, or assumption, and to recognize the image of God in one another.
The breath of God brings dead things back to life. When His Spirit fills us, He reveals mercy that makes reconciliation possible. Unity is born when we stop glancing past each other and start beholding with God’s eyes.
Why Hey for Repentance and Redemption?
Repentance opens our eyes: We behold what we’ve ignored, denied, or broken.
Redemption breathes new life: God restores what division tried to suffocate.
Unity requires mercy: Hey reminds us that grace and compassion must cover us if we are to walk together.
Our Day 18 Challenge: Behold with Mercy
Reflect: Who have I overlooked or dismissed with a casual “hey” instead of truly seeing them?
Repent: Ask God to open your eyes to behold others with His mercy.
Reconcile: Speak life into someone today — not casually, but intentionally — reminding them they are seen and valued.
Our Prayer
Lord, breathe Your Spirit into us again. Open our eyes to behold what You are revealing. Where we have treated others lightly, teach us to see with mercy. Cover our divisions with grace and restore us as one Body, united by Your breath and Your love. Amen.
