Praying in Agreement
Matthew 18:19-20
19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
We’ve heard the saying, “There’s strength in numbers.” That applies not only to physical strength but also to spiritual strength and influence. Scripture is full of reminders about the power of unity and agreement, but it’s not just about getting what we want. It’s about drawing near to God and to one another.
When we pray in agreement, we align our hearts with God's will and invite His presence and power into our lives.
What Does It Mean to Pray in Agreement?
Praying in agreement is more than just saying the same words at the same time. It’s about being united in spirit, heart, and purpose—centered on God’s truth, God’s will, and God’s mission.
Ephesians 4:3 (NLT)
“Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace.”
When we’re unified in prayer, heaven responds.
Why Agreement Matters in Prayer?
1. Unity of Heart Is the Starting Point of Agreement
Agreement begins with a shared heart—not just shared words. It’s about valuing what God values, trusting His timing, and praying according to His will.
1 Corinthians 1:10 (NLT)
“I appeal to you... that you be united in mind and thought.”
2. Unity Invites God’s Presence
When we come together in unity, Jesus promises to be among us. His presence is tangible when hearts are joined in praise and prayer.
Psalm 133:1 (NLT)
“How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!”
3. Unity Strengthens Our Faith
We are stronger when we’re together. Praying with others boosts our courage and reminds us that we’re not alone.
Hebrews 10:23-24 (NLT)
“Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm... Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.”
4. Unity Changes Circumstances
When we agree in prayer, things shift. Scripture shows us the power of unified hearts:
Deuteronomy 32:30 (NLT)
“How could one person chase a thousand of them, and two people put ten thousand to flight...”
Paul and Silas prayed and sang together in prison, and not only were they set free—their unity unlocked freedom for everyone around them.
You’re Not Meant to Pray Alone.
Yes, the Holy Spirit is with you when you pray. But God also designed us to pray together. Whether you're praying for yourself, your family, or your future, don’t go it alone. Invite others in.
One of the best ways to do this is by being part of a church or small group community. We’re here to encourage you, stand with you, and agree with you in prayer.

We believe in the power of united prayer—and we want to pray with you. Whatever you’re facing, whatever you're believing for, we’re here for you.
