50 MFM Prayer Points Against the Spirit of People-Pleasing:
Exhortation:
Hey there! Ever feel like you’re bending over backward trying to make everyone happy? It’s a trap, you know. God made you unique, with your own special purpose. Trying to please everyone else can actually pull you away from who He created you to be. Let’s focus on pleasing Him first, and watch how everything else falls into place. You’ve got this!
Confession:
Father God, we come before you today acknowledging the times we’ve prioritized the opinions of others over your truth. We confess the moments we’ve sought validation from people instead of from you. Forgive us for the fear of rejection that has driven us to compromise our values and dim our light. We turn away from the spirit of people-pleasing and choose to seek your approval above all else. In Jesus name, Amen.
Scripture Reading:
Galatians 1:10: “For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of1 Christ.”
Praise and Worship:
Let’s lift our voices and hearts in praise! Think about God’s unwavering love for you, just as you are. He sees your heart and delights in you. Let’s thank Him for His acceptance and for the freedom He offers from the need to seek human approval. Spend a few moments reflecting on His goodness and singing praises in your own way.
