25 Prayers to Overcome the Spirit of Strife and Contention

Scripture for Meditation: "“A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention. " — Proverbs 15:18

Introduction: The spirit of strife is a demonic spirit that loves arguments, division, and conflict. It thrives in homes, workplaces, and even churches where people are quick to argue and slow to listen. It destroys unity and quenches the Holy Spirit. We must actively resist this spirit by choosing peace, humility, and a gentle answer.
