Positive Quote for the Week: Pray for those who Spitefully use You

When you are deliberate about praying, it is astonishing what the power of Prayer can do! The bottom line is a person’s attitude and behavior is outside of your control, but one thing you can do is pray that their demeanor will alter from negative to positive. You will begin to see that same person with that horrible disposition begin to actually be friendly and pleasant. It will not work overnight so you have to be purposeful with your prayers and let them truly come from the heart.

The Word of God says in Luke 6:27-28 “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.” We can clearly see that the Lord is commanding us to love our enemies. The fact of the matter is that we have no idea what people are going through that is causing them to act in such a hateful manner.

Life is completely spiritually and if you can approach it from that lens, you will have a better understanding of how to handle difficult people. It is certainly easier said than done particularly if the person is just downright nasty in how they treat you. Don’t get discouraged because if you are genuine with your prayers, you will see them start to come to fruition. Just don’t give up!

Some Scriptures on prayer:

1 John 5:14 “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.”

2 Chronicles 7:14 “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

Isaiah 26:3 “You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.”

Psalm 34:4-5 “I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears. They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed.”

Philippians 4:6-7 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
