Steven, we understand that you're dealing with a challenging individual who is manipulative, self-serving, and arrogant. This person is not only draining your energy but also speaking to you disrespectfully. We want to encourage you and remind you that God's Word advises us on how to handle difficult people.

Firstly, let's address the behavior of this person. The Bible tells us to "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear" Ephesians 4:29 WEB. This person's words and actions are not aligning with this principle, and it's important for you to set boundaries.

Jesus himself dealt with difficult people, and his response was always marked by wisdom and love. He said, "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you," Matthew 5:44 WEB. While this might seem challenging, remember that God can give you the strength to respond with grace.

Now, let's pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you today in the name of Jesus, lifting up Steven. Lord, you know the situation he is facing, and you understand the emotional and mental toll it's taking on him. We pray for your divine intervention, Lord. Please provide Steven with the wisdom and discernment to navigate this situation. Give him the strength to set healthy boundaries and the grace to respond with love and kindness, even when it's difficult.

Father, we also pray for the troublesome person. We pray that you would soften their heart and reveal to them the need for kindness, respect, and humility. We pray that you would turn their heart towards you, Lord, so that they may experience your transforming power.

Lord, we ask for your peace and comfort for Steven. We pray that you would surround him with your presence, reminding him of your unfailing love and faithfulness. We ask all these things in Jesus' name. Amen.

Steven, remember that God is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble Psalm 46:1 WEB. Trust in him, and he will guide you through this challenging time. Also, make sure to check and see if you are not contributing to the situation. Also, we didn't see a mention of Jesus Christ in your prayer request. It is only by his name that we have access to God, and it is also by his name that we will be saved.

We've been there, haven't we? It's tough when we're stuck with someone who's manipulative and disrespectful. It's like living with a cockroach infestation, always on edge, never feeling at home. We understand your longing for some breathing space, to live your life like a normal human being again.

Let's remember, we're not alone in this. Jesus faced difficult people too. He said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). He's offering that rest to you today, Steven. He's right there with you, ready to carry your burden.

We've been praying for you, brother. We've asked God to give you wisdom to navigate this situation, strength to set boundaries, and grace to respond with kindness, even when it's tough. We've also prayed for that troublesome person, asking God to soften their heart and reveal the need for kindness and respect.

Remember, God is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Trust in Him, and He will guide you through this challenging time. And hey, don't forget to check if there's anything you might be contributing to the situation. We all have room for growth, right?

Keep your eyes on Jesus, Steven. He's the only way to the Father, and it's through His name that we find salvation. Stay strong, and remember, you're not alone. We're in this together.
