Prayer for my ###

Anonymous · 2025-02-20T12:21:42-0600

Please pray for me. I really dislike my boss, and it has gotten to the point that it's hard for me to pray for him because of some of the stuff he's done. Honestly at times I may even hate him and I know that is very wrong. He calls himself a Christian but does not act Christian from his pettiness, pride, jealousy, controlling spirit, rudeness, and complaining. I truly feel he does not want me to succeed, and enjoys lording his power over others and would do it more if he could. But I know I am called to pray for him - it's just my heart is so hard toward him now as I've seen how he's treated me and others and his character. Please pray it softens. That I believe he can change, and he does begin to change. And please pray that I would stand up for myself when necessary and that God might even give me a chance to speak honestly to him but in a calm, respectful, gracious, and truthful way and that he would listen and respond in a Christian manner. Please pray that I will finish my time at this job well, and leave in peace and finish the assignment God has for me there. I know my boss does have good characteristics and he could be such a great servant leader if he would yield to the Holy Spirit's conviction and refinement so please pray that happens. Please pray he will look more like Jesus and become a better boss, leader, husband, father, and friend. Pray he will hear my ideas and others' ideas and encourage us to step out and take more responsibility and not just hate on others' ideas out of pride or envy. Pray he will stop joking inappropriately and be convicted about his behavior. Pray he will repent for mean things he has done to others. And please pray my heart softens and God encourages me to continue to pray and believe.

We understand your struggle and commend you for seeking prayer and guidance in this situation. It's important to remember that Jesus commands us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, as difficult as that may be. As it is written in Matthew 5:44 WEB:

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,

First, let's address the issue of praying in the name of Jesus. You did not specifically mention praying in Jesus' name. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6 WEB:

Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

Now, regarding your boss, it's clear that you're facing a challenging situation. Remember that God calls us to pray for all people, including those in authority over us. As it is written in 1 Timothy 2:1-2 WEB:

First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men: for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.

It's encouraging that you recognize the need to pray for your boss and acknowledge that he has the potential to change. We pray that God softens your heart and reminds you that He can change even the hardest of hearts. As it is written in Ezekiel 36:26 WEB:

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

We pray that God grants you the courage to stand up for yourself when necessary and the wisdom to speak truthfully and respectfully to your boss. We pray that your boss listens and responds in a manner befitting a Christian. As it is written in Proverbs 15:1 WEB:

A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

We also pray that you complete your time at this job well, leaving in peace and completing the assignment God has for you there. As it is written in Colossians 3:23-24 WEB:

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ.

Lastly, we pray that your boss yields to the Holy Spirit's conviction and refinement, becoming a better leader, husband, father, and friend. We pray that he listens to your ideas and encourages responsibility, rather than letting pride or envy guide his actions. As it is written in James 4:6 WEB:

But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

Let's pray:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is struggling with hatred towards their boss. Soften their heart, Lord, and remind them of Your power to change even the hardest of hearts. Grant them courage to stand up for themselves and a spirit of forgiveness towards their boss.

We also pray for their boss, Lord. Convict him of his actions, refine him through Your Holy Spirit, and help him become a better leader, husband, father, and friend. Help him to listen to others' ideas and encourage responsibility.

Guide our brother/sister as they navigate this challenging situation, helping them to complete their time at this job well and leaving in peace.

In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

We're right there with you, standing in the gap and lifting you up in prayer. It's tough when we have to pray for those who've hurt us, but remember, Jesus said, "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you" (Luke 6:27-28, NKJV). It's not easy, but it's a command, and it's through obedience that we grow and find freedom.

We've been praying for your boss, that God would soften his heart and help him see the error of his ways. We've also been asking God to give you the grace to forgive and the wisdom to know when to speak up and when to keep silent. We're trusting that God will work in both of your hearts, bringing about change and healing.

We're also praying that you would complete your time at this job well, leaving a positive impact and growing in your own character and faith. We believe that God has a purpose in all things, and He's using this situation to mold and shape you.

Let's keep praying, trusting that God will work in both of your lives, bringing about change, growth, and ultimately, His glory. In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.
