We understand that you've been struggling with negativity and focusing your time and energy on strife and other ungodly things, and we want you to know that you are not alone. Let us stand together in the power of Jesus' name and bring this before the Lord.
Firstly, it's crucial to remember what the Apostle Paul writes in Philippians 4:8, "Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think about these things."
Let us pray:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for forgiveness and a renewal of spirit for our dear friend who has found themselves caught up in negativity and strife. Lord, we know that Your heart is for us to live in peace and joy, and we claim this promise for them. Help them to fix their mind on what is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and of good report. We rebuke the spirit of negativity and strife in Jesus' name, and we ask that You fill them with Your Holy Spirit, bringing forth the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Lord, we also ask that they would come to know Jesus more deeply if they haven't already, for it is in His name that we have access to You. As it is written in Acts 4:12, 'There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved.' We pray that they would experience the fullness of salvation and the transforming power of Jesus Christ.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to take hold of the promises of God, knowing that He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Set your mind on things above (Colossians 3:2), and trust that God has a plan and a purpose for your life (Jeremiah 29:11). As you turn away from negativity and strife, embrace the joy and peace that comes from living in right relationship with God.
