Mathew 18:20 (NKJV) For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.
When we pray with someone in agreement, we should ask: Is the prayer item a need or a want? Do we need to adjust our attitude? Have we been faithful in living out what God expects of us and walking with Him? Have we been good stewards of God’s resources? Are we expecting God to bless us, instead of being a channel for His blessings? The end goal shouldn’t be ourselves, but what God is doing through us, so we can bless those around us.
God wants us to succeed in business. We can avoid business failure if we take time to seek God’s will beforehand. Not everyone is called or gifted to do business. That’s why we must consecrate our lives to God and know His will for us.
1 Timothy 5:8 (NKJV) But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
When it comes to getting a job, God wants us to provide for our family, but it takes humility to accept a lower-paying, less significant role that still provides for the family. Therefore, it is better to agree on job provision than to pray for the same position and salary. A frank conversation is needed before praying the prayer of agreement.
Concerning properties, sit down with your spouse to decide on a rental, purchase or sale price, and stand in faith together. Believe that the Lord will send the right people and grant favour.
Singles can pray the prayer of agreement for a spouse with a prayer partner. Take time to listen to what the person is believing God for in a spouse, speak into their life if they have unrealistic expectations, and pray the prayer of agreement once there is agreement in our hearts.
With regards to health, do not be stunned into hopelessness by a bad doctor’s report. Instead, speak to God about the situation and ask Him what the best course of action is. It is not a lack of faith to take medicine or undergo an operation, because God heals through medical science too. Speak to the specific organ or cell to function in Jesus’ name, as God is the one who created it! However, we must believe that God can heal and wants to heal. If we are praying for someone to be healed, we should ask them whether they are believing God to grant them a successful operation, to recover through taking medication, or healing through the laying on of hands. Pray with them at their comfort level of faith in believing in God.
When praying for the lost, agree for the salvation of your household. Stand on the promise to “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved—you and your household” (Acts 16:31). Agree that the Holy Spirit will convict them of sin and open their eyes to the goodness of the gospel.
Reflection: In which area of your life—work, business, marriage, health, or family—do you most need the prayer of agreement? Have you sought God’s direction on the practical steps you should take while trusting Him for the answer?

在每个领域中进入合一
马太福音 18:20 因为无论在哪里，有两三个人奉我的名聚会，那里就有我在他们中间。”
当我们与他人一同献上同心合意的祷告时，我们需要先问自己：我们所祷告的事项是需要，还是只是想要？我们是否需要调整自己的态度？我们是否忠心地活出神对我们的要求，并与祂同行？我们是否善于管理神所托付给我们的资源？我们是否只是期待神祝福我们，还是愿意成为祂祝福人的管道？最终的目标不应该只是自己得着什么，而是神要透过我们成就什么，使我们能够成为祝福，将祝福带给身边的人。
神愿意我们在事业上成功。当我们在开始事业之前花时间寻求神的旨意，就可以避免许多失败。然而，并不是每一个人都被呼召或被赋予恩赐去经营事业。因此，我们必须先将自己的生命分别为圣归给神，并明白祂对我们的旨意。
提摩太前书 5:8人若不看顾亲属，就是背了真道，比不信的人还不好，不看顾自己家里的人更是如此。
当我们面对求职时，神希望我们能够供应家庭的需要。然而，有时候我们需要谦卑地接受一份薪资较低、职位看似不那么重要，却仍然能够供应家庭的工作。因此，与其为同一个职位和薪资祷告，不如在“神供应合适的工作”这件事上达成合一。在进行同心合意的祷告之前，夫妻之间需要先进行坦诚的沟通。
关于房产方面，夫妻应当坐下来，一同决定租赁、购买或出售的价格，并凭信心一起站立。相信主会预备合适的人，并赐下恩典与恩惠。
单身信徒也可以与祷告伙伴一起为未来的配偶献上同心合意的祷告。花时间聆听对方对于未来配偶的期待；如果对方有不合实际的想法，也要在爱中给予提醒和属灵的引导。当彼此在心中达成一致后，再一同献上同心合意的祷告。
在健康方面，不要因为医生不好的诊断报告而陷入绝望。相反，应当来到神面前，将情况带到祂面前，并寻求祂所指引的最佳行动方向。接受药物治疗或进行手术，并不代表缺乏信心，因为神也能够透过医学来施行医治。我们可以奉耶稣的名向身体中特定的器官或细胞宣告，使其恢复正常运作，因为创造它们的正是神！然而，我们必须相信神能够医治，并且祂愿意医治。当我们为某人的医治祷告时，也应当先询问对方：他们是否相信神会赐下成功的手术？是否相信神会透过药物治疗带来恢复？或是否相信神会借着按手祷告带来医治？我们应当按照他们在信靠神这件事上的信心水平，与他们一同祷告。
当我们为失丧的人祷告时，要在家人的救恩上进入合一。我们可以站立在神的应许上：“当信主耶稣，你和你一家都必得救。”（使徒行传 16:31）让我们同心祷告，相信圣灵会使他们为罪忧伤，开启他们的眼睛，使他们看见福音的美好。
默想：在你的生命中——工作、事业、婚姻、健康或家庭——哪一个领域最需要同心合意的祷告？在相信神会回应祷告的同时，你是否也寻求了祂对你应当采取哪些实际行动的引导？
