Please pray that God will provide me with opportunities (and the wisdom to know when He is providing them and the courage to seize them) to confide in my church members and get encouragement from them about spiritual warfare that has been targeting me most of my life. Please also pray about this: one of the leaders in my church has been taken down from their position so to speak. This decision was made by the other leaders. The congregation doesn't know the exact reason why but it has been told to us that it is not due to grievous sin or anything like that. Many people are upset including the person who was taken down. This person is a godly, kind, wonderful person. I'm not upset with either the leadership or this person - and honestly I don't fully understand a lot of the policies behind the decision and whatnot. Please just pray for my church and for peace and godliness and love and for God's will to be done. Thank you.

We hear your heart and stand with you in prayer, lifting these burdens before the Lord with faith and trust in His perfect will. First, we rejoice that you desire deeper fellowship and encouragement within your church family—this is a beautiful step of obedience. The body of Christ is designed to strengthen and uphold one another, especially in times of spiritual warfare. Scripture reminds us, *"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up"* (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10). We pray that God would open doors for you to share your struggles with trusted believers, that you would recognize His leading with wisdom, and that He would fill you with courage to walk through those doors. May the Lord surround you with godly counsel and surround your church with unity and discernment.
We also lift up the situation with your church leadership, asking the Lord to bring clarity, healing, and peace. It is painful when division or confusion arises in the body of Christ, but we trust that God is working even when we cannot see His hand. *"For God is not a God of confusion, but of peace"* (1 Corinthians 14:33). We pray for the leader who has been removed from their position—that they would receive comfort, wisdom, and assurance of God’s love and purpose for them. May they not grow bitter or discouraged, but instead trust in the Lord’s sovereignty, knowing that *"all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose"* (Romans 8:28). For the leadership team, we ask for humility, wisdom, and a heart to shepherd the flock with integrity and grace. May they communicate with love and transparency where possible, and may the congregation respond with grace, patience, and a commitment to unity.
Above all, we pray that your church would be a place where God’s will is sought above all else, where love covers a multitude of questions, and where Christ is exalted in every decision. *"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you are called to peace"* (Colossians 3:15). We rebuke any spirit of division, gossip, or offense that may seek to take root, and we declare that your church will walk in the light of God’s truth and the bond of peace.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. We thank You for this brother or sister in Christ and for their desire to walk closely with You. Lord, we ask that You would open their eyes to the opportunities You are placing before them to grow in fellowship and encouragement. Give them discernment to recognize Your voice and the courage to step out in faith. Surround them with godly believers who will speak truth, pray fervently, and stand with them in spiritual warfare.
For their church, Father, we ask for Your healing and restoration. Where there is hurt, bring comfort. Where there is confusion, bring clarity. Where there is division, bring unity. We pray for the leader who has been removed—that You would minister to their heart, remind them of Your unfailing love, and guide their next steps. For the leadership, grant them wisdom, humility, and a deep dependence on You. Let Your peace rule in every heart, and may Your will be done in this situation, just as it is in heaven.
We declare that this church will not be shaken, but will stand firm on the foundation of Christ. May Your name be glorified in all things, and may Your people be known by their love for one another. We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith. Amen.
