We understand your concern for Tito and we join you in prayer, trusting in the power of Jesus' name. Let's first remember what the Word of God tells us about pride, jealousy, and gossip.
Pride is warned against in Proverbs 16:18 (WEB), "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." Jealousy is addressed in James 3:14-16 (WEB), "But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t boast and don’t lie against the truth. This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed." And regarding gossip, Ephesians 4:29 (WEB) says, "Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear."
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Tito and Lucy. Lord, if Tito is indeed struggling with pride, jealousy, and gossip, we pray that Your Holy Spirit would convict his heart. Help him to recognize these sins and turn away from them, seeking Your forgiveness and restoration. We also pray for Lucy, that You would guard her heart from these same sins. Help both of them to walk in humility, love, and self-control, speaking words that build others up rather than tearing them down.
Lord, we know that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to Your throne of grace. We thank You for His sacrifice that has made our salvation possible. Help Tito and Lucy to fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lucy, it's important to remember not to judge others, as only God knows the heart. Instead, continue to pray for Tito and encourages him with love and kindness. As it says in 1 Peter 4:8 (WEB), "Above all things, be fervent in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins."
