Praying Through Conflict: Finding The Way Forward

When conflict arises, what role does prayer play in helping us find a way forward?  In this episode of How Prayer Works, we talk about just that.  Dr. Dan Baetz explores two tracks that can guide us through conflict: prayer and process. Prayer keeps us attentive to God - seeking His wisdom, listening for His direction, and making use of the spiritual tools He has given us. At the same time, prayer doesn't replace thoughtful action. God can also lead us through practical wisdom, good counsel, and the skills and resources available to us. Drawing from the example of Nehemiah and experiences from his own leadership, Dan shares how these two tracks can work alongside one another, particularly when conflict is complex or comes from within ( or “is deeply personal” or “involves the people closest to us”). Sometimes prayer changes the situation itself; other times, it gives us the clarity and confidence we need to take the next step. Join us as we explore how prayer can shape the way we navigate conflict as we seek God’s wisdom for the way forward.
