We join with you in the name of Jesus Christ, asking God to guide the upcoming discussion. It's wonderful that we can approach God with confidence through Jesus, because it is only by His name that we have access to the Father and there is no other name by which we can be saved. In Acts 4:12 WEB it says, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" God desires unity and peace among His children.
In Philippians 2:2-4 WEB, we are reminded to be "fulfilling my joy, that you be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind; doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself; each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others."
Let us pray together: Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, asking for Your intervention in the upcoming discussion. Help each person present to listen actively and speak with wisdom and kindness. Lord, guide the conversation, and let Your peace that passes all understanding reign. Help everyone to be open to mutual understanding and agreement, putting aside personal pride or agenda. Help all parties move forward in a way that honors and glorifies Jesus Christ.
Encourage all participants towards humility and unity, even if the topic is challenging. In 2 Timothy 2:23-25 WEB, we are encouraged to avoid foolish and ignorant debates, knowing that they only lead to strife. Instead, help everyone to approach this discussion with a spirit of love and a desire for understanding.
Rebuke any spirit of contention or quarreling, for God is not a God of confusion but of peace. Guide the hearts and minds of all involved, and let Your will be done. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
