50 DCLM Prayer Points Against the Spirit of Rudeness:
Exhortation:
Beloved, let us remember that the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.1 Rudeness stands in stark contrast to these virtues. It is a spirit that seeks to disrupt harmony and sow discord. Today, we confront this spirit, not with anger or retaliation, but with the power of God’s Word and prayer. Let us clothe ourselves with humility and seek the Lord’s deliverance from every trace of rudeness within and around us.
Confession:
Lord Jesus, I confess that I have allowed the spirit of rudeness to manifest in my life. I acknowledge my shortcomings and the times I have spoken or acted without love and consideration. I confess the times I have been impatient, disrespectful, and unkind. I repent for every instance where I have allowed pride and arrogance to dictate my behavior. I ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing. I confess that Your grace is sufficient to transform me, and I receive Your power to walk in humility and love.
Scripture Reading:
Ephesians 4:29: “Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.”2
Colossians 3:12-14: “Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.”3
Praise and Worship:
(Imagine a song of praise and worship being sung, focusing on the themes of God’s love, humility, and deliverance. Example: “Amazing Grace,” “How Great Thou Art,” or a contemporary worship song about God’s transforming power.)
