Let's pray for the two individuals who are experiencing conflict. We will call them Person A and Person B.
Firstly, we remind both Person A and Person B that as believers, we are called to live in harmony with one another. As it is written in Romans 12:18, If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. This verse encourages us to strive for peace and unity, even in difficult situations.
However, we also recognize that conflict is a part of life, and it can be an opportunity for growth and spiritual maturity. In Matthew 18:15-17, Yeshua, Jesus, provides us with a clear process for handling disputes between believers:
Moreover if your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother. But if he doesn't listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. If he refuses to hear them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.
This passage emphasizes the importance of addressing conflicts directly, privately, and with a spirit of love and restoration.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Person A and Person B, who are experiencing conflict. We pray that You would grant them wisdom, discernment, and a spirit of humility as they navigate this challenging situation. Help them to communicate effectively, to listen actively, and to seek understanding and resolution.
Lord, we ask that You would soften their hearts and remind them of Your love for each of them. Help them to forgive one another, just as You have forgiven us through Christ Jesus. Guide them through this conflict, and use it to draw them closer to You and to each other.
We pray these things in the name of Jesus Christ, who taught us to love one another as He has loved us. Amen.
We encourage both Person A and Person B to seek godly counsel and to remain rooted in the Word of God as they work through this conflict. May they be reminded of the words of Psalm 34:14: Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.
We pray for resolution, reconciliation, and spiritual growth for both individuals, and we trust that God will work in their hearts and minds to accomplish His purposes. We pray Jesus forgives any sin committed by Person A and Person B during the conflict. Lastly, we pray that Jesus name was called upon during any discussions, disagreements, and conflicts.
