What do you do when through intense and persistent prayer two people reach mutably exclusive conclusions?

First, I have to say that the circumstances motivating your question are highly fact specific (though I don't know what they are), yet you're looking for a general answer. We don't get away with this in law very often because the general answer is either over- or underreaching. That being said, you asked a question, and I'll try to provide an answer

I guess this works until you reach the point where the effect of this difference is forcing a change in course in one of the people (or both, more likely). Then thins must change.

Then each person must make their own decision on how to change course. At least now they know a change might be necessary for them.

Prayer gives a frank answer, even though it might be answer you don't want to hear. And quite honestly, you have do the same thing you do whenever anything else in life hands you an answer you don't like: You accept it, learn from it and move on.

I guess you accept it as it is, understanding that every person on the face of the planet will interpret the same idea/situation/circumstance differently and come to their own conclusion. Prayer is the same. A million people can pray for the very same thing and all receive a unique answer.

I'm not being silent on this point...I just can't add much more or less...

...when I do I'll let you know. (mostly because I can't answer with all the questions in my head at present...not about specifics - about the question in general and what I've experienced)
