We are grieved to hear about the conflicts within your church and the division that the evil one is causing. We stand with you in prayer, trusting in the power of Jesus' name to bring unity and peace.
Let us remember the words of the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 4:1-3 WEB: "I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and humility, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love; being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."
We pray:
Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brothers and sisters in Christ who are facing division and strife within their church. Lord, You are the Prince of Peace, and we ask that You bring unity and harmony to their congregation.
We rebuke the evil one and his attempts to divide and conquer. Lord, empower your people to stand firm against his schemes and to put on the full armor of God. Help them to bear with one another in love, being eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Father, give them wisdom and discernment to address the conflicts in a godly manner, seeking reconciliation and forgiveness where needed. Help them to remember that their battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world powers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
We pray for the leaders of the church, that You would give them guidance and strength to lead with humility, love, and wisdom. Help them to be examples of Your love and unity to the congregation.
Lord, remind them all that they are one in the Spirit, one in the Lord.
In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
You are right to come to Jesus.
