Dutch Prayer for Humility to See Others as You See Them
Our own pride is often the biggest wall that prevents true unity. When we ask God to give us His eyes, we begin to see the value and worth in every brother and sister, an essential step toward oneness.
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts that are often too full of ourselves. We confess our pride, our secret thoughts of being better, and our tendency to judge others based on our own limited understanding. Please forgive us. We ask You to strip away this selfish pride and replace it with a genuine and profound humility that comes only from You.
Help us, Lord, to see our brothers and sisters in Christ the way You see them. Let us see their incredible worth, the gifts You have placed within them, and the love You have for them. Remind us that every person in Your family is precious to You, created in Your image for a purpose. Teach us to value their opinions, to listen to their hearts, and to learn from their experiences.
Fill us with the attitude of Christ Jesus, who humbled Himself for our sake. May we stop thinking of ourselves first and instead look to the interests of others. Let this humility break down the walls of competition and comparison within the Church, creating a safe place where everyone feels valued and understood. We desire to serve, not to be served, and to lift others up in love, so in all things may Your name be glorified through a humble and united people, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
When we are humble, we make room for God to work and for others to be seen. As the Bible says in Philippians 2:3, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.”
Prayer for Guarding Our Tongues and Speaking Life
Words have immense power. They can be weapons that create deep wounds and divisions, or they can be tools that build, heal, and unite. We need God’s help to control our tongues and use them for good.
Lord God, Creator of all things, You spoke the world into existence. Your words bring life. We confess that our words have often done the opposite. Forgive us for the times we have used our tongues for gossip, for slander, for criticism, and for complaining about our fellow believers. These words have sown seeds of distrust and disunity in Your family.
We ask You, Holy Spirit, to set a guard over our mouths. Give us the wisdom to know when to speak and when to stay silent. When we do speak, let our words be full of grace, kindness, and encouragement. Help us to speak truth, but to always speak it in love. May our conversations about others, especially those within the church, be words that build them up and honor them.
Change our hearts, so that what flows from our mouths is a reflection of Your love within us. Help us to be known as people who speak life, hope, and peace. Let our words be a healing balm to a hurting church, knitting our hearts together in genuine love and mutual respect. We want our conversations to be a source of strength for Your Body, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Our speech reveals what is truly in our hearts. By dedicating our words to God, we can become agents of unity. Ephesians 4:29 reminds us, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up…”
Prayer for a Spirit of Forgiveness and Reconciliation
Unforgiveness is a poison that keeps believers separated from each other and from God. A willingness to forgive as we have been forgiven is not just a suggestion; it is central to living together in unity.
Father of mercies, we stand before You in awe of the incredible forgiveness You have shown us through Jesus Christ. You have canceled our immeasurable debt, yet we confess that we often hold onto small debts against our brothers and sisters. We harbor grudges, replay hurts in our minds, and build walls of bitterness. This grieves Your heart and tears the fabric of Your Church.
We ask for Your strength to forgive. Where there are deep wounds, bring Your supernatural healing. Where there is misunderstanding, bring clarity and peace. Give us the courage to go to those we have wronged and the humility to accept an apology from those who have wronged us. Help us release our right to be angry and to trust You with the justice and the outcome.
Lord, create in us a spirit of reconciliation. May we actively seek to restore broken relationships within the Body of Christ. Don’t let pride, fear, or stubbornness keep us apart any longer. Let the forgiveness that flows from Your throne flow through us to one another, so the world can see a powerful testimony of Your redeeming love at work in Your people, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door to restored relationships and a unified church. We are called to “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you” (Colossians 3:13).
Prayer for Our Gaze to be Fixed on Jesus, Our Common Hope
When we focus on our differences, division is inevitable. But when we all turn our eyes to Jesus—the one who saved us, leads us, and unites us—our differences fade and our shared identity becomes clear.
Lord Jesus, You are the head of the Church and the author and perfecter of our faith. We confess that we have become distracted. We have fixed our eyes on our different doctrines, our styles of worship, our political views, and our personal preferences. In doing so, we have lost sight of You, the one thing that truly matters.
We ask You to draw our gaze back to Yourself. Help us to be so captivated by Your beauty, Your sacrifice, and Your glory that everything else seems small in comparison. Remind us that it is Your blood that saved each of us and Your Spirit that lives in each of us. This is the common ground on which we all stand, a ground that is higher than any of our disagreements.
Unify our hearts by giving us a shared passion for Your Lordship. When we are tempted to argue or divide, help us to pause and look to the cross, where our unity was purchased at the highest price. Let a fresh revelation of who You are burn away the pettiness that divides us, and bind us together as one Body with one glorious King, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Unity is the natural result of a Church that is collectively in awe of Jesus. As we are reminded in Hebrews 12:2, we must be “fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith,” for in Him we find our true oneness.
Prayer for Hearts that Desire to Serve One Another
A self-centered church is a divided church, where everyone is focused on their own needs and rights. Unity grows in an atmosphere of service, where believers follow Christ’s example by lovingly meeting the needs of others.
Lord Jesus, You came not to be served, but to serve, and to give Your life as a ransom for many. You are our ultimate example of selfless love. We confess that we often come to church with a consumer mindset, asking “what can I get?” instead of “what can I give?” Forgive us for our selfishness and our inward focus.
Please radically change our hearts. Ignite in us a burning desire to serve one another. Help us to see the needs around us—the need for an encouraging word, a helping hand, a listening ear, or a prayer of support. Show us the practical ways we can bear one another’s burdens and so fulfill Your law of love. Let us find joy not in being recognized, but in quietly and faithfully serving our brothers and sisters.
Remove any spirit of competition or comparison, and help us celebrate the opportunities we have to lift others up. May our acts of service, big and small, be the glue that binds our community together, creating a beautiful picture of Your love for a watching world to see, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
A serving church is a strong and united church. We are called to reflect the heart of our Savior, for as Jesus said in John 13:35, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Prayer for Wisdom and Understanding in Disagreements
Disagreements will happen, but they don’t have to lead to division. With God’s wisdom, we can navigate our differences with grace, respect, and a deep desire for understanding, which strengthens rather than shatters our unity.
Heavenly Father, You are the source of all wisdom. We come to You because we are often foolish in our disagreements. We argue to win, we speak without listening, and we damage relationships because of our pride. We get so focused on being right that we forget to be loving. Please forgive our foolishness.
Grant us Your divine wisdom. When we face disagreements about theology, methods, or personal opinions, help us to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. Give us the ability to understand the other person’s perspective, even if we don’t agree with them. Help us to ask questions with a genuine desire to learn, not to corner or accuse.
Fill us with patience and gentleness. Let us hold our convictions with humility, always remembering that we only see in part. Guide our conversations so that they build bridges, not walls. We pray that our moments of disagreement would actually become opportunities to grow in love and respect for one another, proving that our unity is stronger than any issue that could divide us, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Navigating disagreements with love is a sign of spiritual maturity and a key to unity. James 1:19 provides perfect guidance: “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.”
Prayer for Breaking Down the Walls That Divide Us
The Body of Christ is meant to be a beautiful mosaic of people from every tribe, tongue, and nation. We must pray against the man-made walls of denomination, race, and culture that keep us from experiencing the full family of God.
Lord of all nations, in Your kingdom there is no Jew or Gentile, slave or free, for we are all one in Christ Jesus. We confess that our churches do not always reflect this glorious truth. We have built walls based on denomination, worship style, economic status, and race. Forgive us for creating divisions where You desire unity.
We ask You, by the power of Your Spirit, to tear down these walls. Where there is prejudice, bring repentance and love. Where there is denominational pride, bring humility and a spirit of partnership. Help us to see the beauty in the diversity of Your Body and to celebrate our differences instead of allowing them to divide us.
Stir in our hearts a desire to build relationships with believers who are different from us. Give us the courage to step out of our comfort zones and to love and learn from our brothers and sisters from other backgrounds. May our unity in Christ be a powerful witness to a divided world, showing them that Your love is greater than any barrier we can create, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Christ Himself is our peace, and His work on the cross destroyed the barriers between us. As Ephesians 2:14 says, “For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility.”
Prayer for Unity Among Church Leaders and Pastors
The unity of a church often reflects the unity of its leaders. When pastors and elders are united in heart, vision, and friendship, it creates a powerful foundation for the entire congregation to stand together as one.
Almighty God, we lift up the shepherds of Your flock—our pastors, elders, and ministry leaders. We thank You for their service and their sacrifice. We know the enemy seeks to create division among them, knowing that if the shepherds are scattered, the sheep will be too. We pray for a hedge of protection around their relationships.
Pour out a spirit of unity upon our leaders. Guard their hearts against jealousy, competition, and suspicion. Fill them with humility, so they can lay down their own agendas for the good of the whole Body. Give them a shared vision for Your church, one that comes directly from Your heart. We pray that they would genuinely love, trust, and support one another.
May their meetings be filled with grace, wisdom, and a spirit of collaboration. Strengthen their friendships, so their partnership in the gospel is built on real relationship. Let their united leadership be a living example for all of us, inspiring the entire congregation to live in harmony and work together for Your glory, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
A healthy church is often led by leaders who model unity and love for one another. Psalm 133:1 beautifully declares, “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head.”
Prayer for a Renewed Passion for Our Shared Mission
A church united in purpose is a powerful force for the Kingdom of God. When we remember our shared mission—to love God and make disciples—our internal squabbles seem insignificant in light of our great calling.
Lord of the Harvest, you have given us a clear and glorious mission: to go into all the world and preach the good news. We confess that we have become distracted from this great commission. We have turned our energy inward, focusing on our own disagreements and comforts, while a lost world waits. Forgive us for losing our passion.
We ask You to reignite a fire in our hearts for Your mission. Remind us that we are partners in the gospel, co-laborers working together for the same prize. Help us to see that the mission is too big and too important for any one of us to accomplish alone. We need each other. Let our shared desire to see souls saved and lives transformed completely overshadow our minor differences.
Unite us in prayer for the lost in our community. Unite us in action as we serve those in need. Let our common goal of bringing glory to Your name bind us together in a powerful and unstoppable way. May our love for You and for the lost compel us to lay down our swords and link our arms together, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Focusing on our shared purpose is one of the quickest paths to unity. As we work together for the gospel, our bonds are strengthened, reminding us of Paul’s words in Philippians 1:27: “…stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel.”
Prayer for an Outpouring of God’s Love to Flow Through Us
Unity is not something we can manufacture on our own. It is a supernatural byproduct of God’s love filling us and then flowing through us to one another. Without His love as our foundation, all our efforts for unity will fail.
God of Love, Your very nature is love. You loved us so much that You sent Your Son, Jesus, for us. We confess that the love we show each other is often weak, conditional, and selfish. It is not the radical, patient, and kind love that You command. We cannot produce this love on our own.
So we ask for a fresh outpouring of Your Holy Spirit. Fill our hearts to overflowing with Your pure, divine love. Let us be so saturated in the reality of how much You love us that we cannot help but let that same love flow out to our brothers and sisters in Christ. Heal our wounded hearts so that we can love from a place of wholeness, not brokenness.
Let this supernatural love be the defining characteristic of our church. May it cause us to be patient with one another, to believe the best in one another, and to fiercely protect our unity. Let the world look at us and not see a perfect people, but a people who genuinely and deeply love each other because they are filled with the love of God, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
God’s love is the source and substance of our unity. As 1 John 4:7-8 commands, “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God… because God is love.”
Prayer for Patience and Gentleness with Our Brothers and Sisters
In a family as diverse as the Church, irritations and annoyances are bound to happen. Unity survives not because we are all perfect, but because we choose to treat each other with Christ-like patience and gentleness.
Patient and Gentle Shepherd, You lead us with such kindness, even when we stumble and wander. We confess that we do not show that same patience to each other. We are often quick to get irritated, to take offense, and to be harsh in our responses to those who are different from us. Forgive our impatience and our rough edges.
We ask for a supernatural endowment of patience. When a brother or sister is difficult, help us to respond with grace. When there are frustrations, fill us with a gentle spirit that seeks peace. Help us to remember our own faults and the immense patience You show us every single day. Let that reality humble us and soften our hearts toward others.
Let gentleness become a hallmark of our interactions. May we handle each other’s hearts with care, being slow to anger and eager to show compassion. We know that this gentle and quiet spirit is precious in Your sight. Cultivate this fruit of the Spirit in us, so that our church becomes a peaceful refuge, not a place of conflict, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Patience and gentleness are not signs of weakness, but of Spirit-controlled strength that preserves peace. Ephesians 4:2 urges us to be “completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love,” which is the very essence of unity.
Prayer for Healing Past Wounds Within the Church
Many people carry deep hurts caused by other Christians or by the church itself. For true unity to flourish, these past wounds must be brought into the light for God’s healing, forgiveness, and restoration to take place.
Great Physician, Healer of our hearts, we come to You with the painful reality that Your own Body is wounded. Many among us carry scars from church splits, harsh judgments, broken trust, and careless words spoken by fellow believers. These hurts create barriers and fuel distrust, making true unity impossible.
We bring these wounds to You. Where there is deep-seated pain, we ask for Your healing touch. Give those who have been hurt the grace to process their pain and the strength to forgive. For those who have caused the hurt, we pray for a spirit of repentance, humility, and a willingness to seek reconciliation and make things right.
Lord, we ask You to redeem our painful history. Let these places of brokenness become powerful testimonies of Your grace. Heal our shared memories and rebuild the trust that has been shattered. Make our church a safe harbor for the wounded, a place known for its compassion, mercy, and restorative love, where old hurts are healed, not hidden, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Healing is essential for unity, as brokenness cannot be simply ignored. We must trust God’s restorative power, for as Psalm 147:3 promises, “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” This healing makes new levels of unity possible.
