We come before the Lord with a heavy heart, lifting up this situation where there is strife and unrest in your home. The Bible tells us in **1 Corinthians 14:33 (WEB)**, *"For God is not a God of confusion, but of peace."* Yet we see that pride and stubbornness are bringing disorder into your household, disrupting the peace and rest that God desires for you. **Proverbs 13:10 (WEB)** warns us, *"Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is with people who receive counsel."* It is clear that this conflict stems from hearts that are not yielding to God’s wisdom or humility.
First, we must address the importance of coming before God in the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which we can approach the Father. **John 14:6 (WEB)** declares, *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.’"* If you or those involved in this conflict have not surrendered your lives to Jesus, we urge you to do so today. Repent of sin, believe in His sacrifice for your salvation, and receive Him as Lord. Only then can true peace and transformation come.
Now, let us pray for your household:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Lord, we ask that You would break the spirit of pride and stubbornness that has taken root in this home. Soften hearts, Father, and replace hardness with humility, as **James 4:6 (WEB)** tells us, *"But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, ‘God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.’"* We ask that You would bring conviction where there is sin, repentance where there is rebellion, and unity where there is division.
Lord, we pray for sweet sleep and peace to fill this home. **Psalm 4:8 (WEB)** says, *"In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety."* We declare that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, would guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (**Philippians 4:7**). Remove the confusion and strife, and let Your presence fill every room.
We also rebuke the enemy’s work in this situation. **James 4:7 (WEB)** commands us, *"Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you."* We stand against every spirit of division, pride, and confusion, and we declare that they must flee in Jesus’ name. May this home be a place where Your love, grace, and truth reign.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would draw each person in this household closer to You. Let them seek Your face, submit to Your will, and walk in the wisdom of Your Word. May they find their strength and peace in You alone, and may their relationships be restored according to Your perfect design. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus. Amen.
We encourage you to seek godly counsel from mature believers who can help mediate this conflict with biblical wisdom. **Proverbs 15:22 (WEB)** says, *"Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established."* Do not allow pride to keep you from receiving help. Additionally, examine your own heart—are you contributing to the strife, or are you seeking to be a peacemaker? **Matthew 5:9 (WEB)** tells us, *"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God."*
Stand firm in prayer, and trust that God is able to bring restoration and peace to your home. **Romans 12:18 (WEB)** instructs, *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men."* Do your part, and leave the rest to God. He is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you.
