Speak openly and seek a fair, peaceful resolution

Keep your real aim hidden until you can win

Build a private alliance so you can gain control

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and needed your mercy. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and trust you as my Lord and Savior. Forgive me, make me yours, and lead my life. Amen.

Trust the One They Plotted Against

Lord, revive your Church where fear, secrecy, and hidden motives have taken hold. Teach us to speak truth, to stand with Jesus when he is opposed, and to love without manipulation. Wake us up again for faithful witness, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Make Your Church Honest and Courageous

Father, I confess that I can be tempted to conceal my real intentions, twist the truth, or work behind someone’s back. Search me, forgive me, and cleanse me. Give me a heart that is open and honest before you and others, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Expose My Hidden Motives

Thank you, God, that Jesus did not step away when others plotted against him. Thank you for his courage, his patience, and the salvation that came through his suffering. Help me to honor him with gratitude today.

Thank You for Jesus' Steadfastness

Pray by naming one relationship, decision, or conflict where you are tempted to hide your motives. Ask God for clarity, courage, and a peaceful way to speak openly instead.

Pray for Honest Conversations

Pray for anyone who is being targeted, manipulated, or threatened. Ask God to expose what is hidden, protect the vulnerable, and bring justice and peace where harm is being planned, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
