Misunderstandings happen. They occur in life, family and even in the church. Sometimes our actions are seen in a way that projects us in a bad light. Jesus has given the church a process to help us get to the bottom of a matter. First, the church must correctly execute what Jesus has given to us. Second, we must have the humility to submit to that process. This prayer helps with both. If this ministers to you, share it with a friend. 

Prayer

Jesus, when there are accusations and misunderstandings brought against me by the fellow brothers and sisters within the church, then I understand I must bring this issue before the leaders of the church. Give me a willingness to submit to the process. Fill me with a humble trust in You that accepts the fact that You can use Your people to accurately sort through the facts and make a just decision.  Jesus, right now I commit to Your church and it’s leaders. I yield to their guidance. I accept their authority in regard to church matters. I yield to their judgements as worship to You! I ask this in Your name, amen.

Galatians 2:1-10

Then after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem, this time with Barnabas. I took Titus along also. I went in response to a revelation and, meeting privately with those esteemed as leaders, I presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. I wanted to be sure I was not running and had not been running my race in vain. Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek. This matter arose because some false believers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves. We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you. As for those who were held in high esteem—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism—they added nothing to my message. On the contrary, they recognized that I had been entrusted with the task of preaching the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised. For God, who was at work in Peter as an apostle to the circumcised, was also at work in me as an apostle to the Gentiles. James, Cephas and John, those esteemed as pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised. All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along.
