A perverse person stirs up conflict,
and a gossip separates close friends. (Proverbs 16:28)
Dear Father,
Power is the motivator behind intentionally stirring up conflict and in gossip. When a person stirs up conflict, they are exercising their ability to use words and actions to create unstable circumstances for the ability to use that instability to undermine others and/or to gain position. Gossip is also a form of power exercise by using knowledge to be viewed as important or to manipulate others.
I pray that these children fully understand that the most important power comes by being aligned to your will. And that the most powerful impact on the world will come as they seek to touch others with your love by the power you place in them. I pray that they see know need to manipulate others to gain earthly position and power and that they fully recognize the harm they would cause by doing so. May the be peacemakers.
Amen
