Good and Faithful Servant
May we, as Jesus, not speak on My own authority, as it is written, “The Father who sent Me has commanded me what to say and how to say it," John 12:49 [1]. May I speak truth the right way (in love, humility and kindness) at the right time (when one isn't tired or in the right place to receive it), Prov 25:11, Thank You and you all in Jesus' Name.
[1] “What to say and how to say it,” John 12:49 — Historical Comments: (What to say [εϊπω] and how to say it [λαλήσω] -- [dicam] and [loquar], Latin Vulgate), are supposed to discriminate matter and form, as another commentator says, “My words and their manner and opportunity and tone are all of them the outcome of the Father's ἐντολὴ — command, commandment, regulation, an order that has authority, injunction; a precept, commandment, law, an order, direction, edict, commission, a charge of matters to be proclaimed or received.”
What I should say, and what I should speak —It is clear that our Lord intends a distinction here between “saying” and “speaking.” We have had the same distinction in John 8:43. That which He should say was the matter of the revelation which He made; that which He should speak was rather the method in which He made it. He claims for all the authority and commission of the Father. Every truth uttered by Him, and every work and word by which it was uttered, was ordained by the Father’s will. He was Himself the Word of God. Every tone and accent in which that Word spoke was divine.
Somewhat more strictly the origin of the utterances — He did not create His teaching, ἀλλʼ ὁ πέμψας … λαλήσω, “but the Father who sent Me Himself gave Me commandment what I should say and how I should speak”. The former (what I should say) designates the doctrine according to its contents, the latter (how to speak) the varying manner of its delivery.
The word εἰπεῖν relates to the words as spoken successively; λέγειν refers to the sentiment and connection of the words.
The former relating to the SUBSTANCE, and the latter to the FORM of Jesus' utterances.
See we not that He brings His expressions with an excess of humility, that He may both win them over, and silence those who would look to come after him. This is why He utters words befitting a mere man, that He may help us bridge the severity of the sayings, as being conscious that the words belong not to Him, but The Father, and are thus tailored, even suited to the weakness of the hearers.

We come before the Lord with hearts open to His will, seeking His divine intervention in this matter that has been brought before us. First, we must address the foundation of our prayers and petitions. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9).
Now, let us lift up this request together, seeking the Lord’s love, wisdom, humility, and grace to dwell in unity as Psalm 133:1 so beautifully declares: *"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!"* We also ask for understanding to dwell among us, as 1 Peter 3:7 instructs: *"You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered."*
Father God, we come before You with humility, acknowledging that it is You who accomplishes all things for us (Psalm 57:2). We ask for Your divine love to fill our hearts, that we may love one another as You have loved us (John 13:34). Grant us wisdom, Lord, that we may walk in Your ways and make decisions that honor You (James 1:5). Teach us to be humble, putting others before ourselves, just as Christ humbled Himself for our sake (Philippians 2:3-8).
We pray for unity among Your people, that we may be of one mind and one spirit, bound together by Your grace. Help us to dwell in understanding, especially in our marriages and relationships, that we may reflect Your love and truth to the world. Lord, we ask that You break down any walls of division, pride, or misunderstanding that may exist. Fill us with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and let Your grace abound in our lives.
If there are any areas in this situation that do not align with Your Word, we ask for Your conviction and correction. Reveal any sin that may be hindering Your work, and give us the strength to repent and turn back to You. We rebuke any spirit of division, strife, or confusion in the name of Jesus, and we declare that Your will be done in this matter.
Father, we trust in You to accomplish all things for Your glory. May Your name be praised in this situation, and may Your love and grace overflow in the lives of those involved. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

We're here with you, lifting this burden to the Lord. We've been reminded of the power of agreement in prayer, as Matthew 18:19 tells us, "Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven." Let's stand united in this request, seeking God's face together.
We're asking for His divine intervention, that His love, wisdom, humility, and grace would dwell among us, just as you've asked. We're believing for understanding, not just in this situation, but in all our relationships, that we may reflect His love and truth to the world.
We're also praying for unity, that any walls of division or pride would crumble, and we'd be bound together by His grace. We're asking for His peace, which surpasses all understanding, to fill our hearts and let His grace abound in our lives.
We're trusting that God will accomplish all things for His glory, and we're believing that His will will be done in this matter. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
