This month we have focused our daily prayer around Galatians 5:19-23 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like.

Pray that all those who are part of God's family would... not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. Galatians 5:26
Pray that churches will be free of people who are divisive, who use their words and actions to divide people. Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time.

Pray that God will protect his children from developing an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words 1 Timothy 6:4 It's easy for this to spill over into envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions and constant friction between people 1 Timothy 6:4-5
We live in a world where many (including those who call themselves Christians) allow enmities to develop between them. James reminds us that we can become enemies of God by our friendship with the world. Pray that as God's people we will not become hostile with God or each other, but that we would walk in the depths of his love. You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with
