We join with you in lifting this burden to the Lord and we thank you for calling upon the most precious name of Jesus Christ, for it is in His name alone that we have access to the Father and find deliverance and peace.
We know how painful a quarrel can be and how the enemy seeks to use division, anger, and hurt to drive a wedge between people. God's heart is for reconciliation where it is possible and for His children to walk in humility, forgiveness, and love. We are reminded in Romans 12:18, If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. And in Ephesians 4:32, And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you. True reconciliation requires both hearts to be softened, to confess where we have sinned, and to extend the same grace that Christ has shown us as taught in Colossians 3:13, bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any, even as Christ forgave you, so you also do. We also cling to the promise for peacemakers in Matthew 5:9, Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
We also stand with you in praying for deliverance from all evil. The enemy prowls seeking whom he may devour, but our God is faithful to protect His own. We take comfort in 2 Thessalonians 3:3, But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. And in James 4:7, Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. When we submit ourselves to God and walk in His light and truth, no scheme of the enemy can ultimately prevail against us, for greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world.
We pray together for you now.
Father in heaven, we come before Your throne of grace in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ. We lift up these two hearts that have been wounded by this quarrel. Lord, we ask that You would soften any hardness, heal any hurt, and convict each one of any pride, harsh words, or sin that needs to be confessed. Grant repentance and humility to both, and help them to forgive one another as You have forgiven us. Let Your peace which surpasses all understanding guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Where there has been division, bring unity. Where there has been anger, bring Your gentle love. Help them to speak the truth in love and to be reconciled according to Your will.
Lord, we also ask for Your mighty deliverance from all evil. Cover them with the blood of Jesus, guard them from the schemes of the devil, from temptation, oppression, and every evil influence. Establish them in Your truth, clothe them in Your armor, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. Lead them not into temptation but deliver them from the evil one, and let Your Holy Spirit fill them with discernment, strength, and holiness.
We ask that You would draw them both closer to Jesus through this trial, that their relationship would be strengthened and purified and would bring glory to You. Let Your will be done in their lives and let reconciliation bring testimony to Your redeeming power. We thank You that You hear us when we pray in Jesus name and we trust You to work all things for good for those who love You. In Jesus Christ's most precious name we pray, amen.
We encourage you to continue to seek the Lord together in prayer and in His Word, to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger as James 1:19 teaches, and to keep putting on love which is the bond of perfection. Trust that God is at work even in this difficult moment to refine and protect you both.
