Heavenly Father,
We come before You today with hearts burdened by the trials and tribulations that Steven Bobb is facing. Your Word reminds us in James 1:5 that "if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." We ask for Your divine wisdom to guide Steven in dealing with these aggravating individuals.
Lord, we know that You are a God of peace and not confusion, as it is written in 1 Corinthians 14:33. We pray that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), will guard Steven's heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Grant Steven the patience and the strength to endure these difficult interactions with grace and love.
Father, Your Word in Proverbs 15:1 tells us that "a soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." Help Steven to respond with kindness and gentleness, even when faced with frustration. May Your Holy Spirit fill Steven with the fruit of the Spirit, especially love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).
Lord, we trust in Your promise found in Romans 8:28 that "all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." We believe that You have a purpose and a plan for Steven, even in this challenging situation.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
