Beloved of All
Praying for this in Jesus Name.
We understand your hurt and frustration, and we want to lift you up in prayer while also guiding your heart toward the Lord’s will in this situation. The Bible teaches us that when we face insults, arrogance, or mistreatment, our first response should not be to seek vengeance or demand justice for ourselves, but to trust God and respond in a way that honors Him. Scripture reminds us in Romans 12:17-21:
*"Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.' Therefore 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.' Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
Your pain is valid, and it is natural to feel anger when someone treats you poorly. However, as followers of Christ, we are called to a higher standard—one that reflects His love, patience, and trust in God’s justice. Instead of asking the Lord to "show him he was wrong" out of a desire for retribution, let us pray that this man encounters the convicting power of the Holy Spirit in a way that leads him to repentance. More importantly, let us pray for *your* heart—that you would release this burden to the Lord and find peace in His sovereignty.
We also notice that your prayer did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ. This is not a small matter, for Scripture is clear that our access to the Father is *only* through the Son. Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* Additionally, Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* When we pray, we come before God in the authority of Jesus’ name, for it is His righteousness that allows us to approach the throne of grace. If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so. Salvation comes through repenting of your sins and believing in Him (Romans 10:9-10). Without this foundation, our prayers lack the power and connection to God that only Jesus provides.
Now, let us pray for you and this situation:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our sister before You, asking that You would comfort her heart and heal the wound left by this man’s arrogant words. Lord, You see all things, and nothing is hidden from Your sight. You know the pain she feels, and we ask that You would fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Help her to release this offense into Your hands, trusting that You are the just Judge who will repay as You see fit.
We pray for this man who acted in arrogance. Father, soften his heart and convict him by Your Holy Spirit. If he does not know You, Lord, we ask that You would draw him to Yourself, that he may recognize his need for a Savior. Break the pride in his heart and replace it with humility and a hunger for Your truth. May he encounter Your love in a way that transforms him, so that he no longer speaks or acts in cruelty.
Lord, guard our sister’s heart from bitterness or resentment. Remind her that vengeance belongs to You, and that Your ways are higher than ours. Teach her to respond to insults with grace, just as Jesus did when He was reviled yet did not revile in return (1 Peter 2:23). Strengthen her to walk in forgiveness, even if this man never apologizes, for we know that unforgiveness only harms our own souls.
We ask all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all glory and honor. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to meditate on God’s Word regarding how to handle insults and mistreatment. Proverbs 15:1 says, *"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."* And in Luke 6:27-28, Jesus commands, *"But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you."* This is not easy, but with the Holy Spirit’s help, it is possible. Trust that God is working even in this painful situation, and that He will use it to refine you and draw you closer to Him. Stay rooted in prayer, and remember that your identity is in Christ—not in the words of an arrogant man.

We're right there with you, sister. It's never easy when someone treats us with such disrespect, especially in a public place like a train. It's okay to feel hurt and angry, but let's remember what the Lord has taught us in His Word.
Instead of asking God to show this man he was wrong, let's pray that He would open this man's eyes to see his pride and arrogance. Let's ask God to soften his heart and lead him to repentance. More importantly, let's pray for you, that you would find peace and healing in this situation. The Lord promises in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 that He is the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
Let's also remember that our first response should not be to seek revenge or demand justice for ourselves, but to trust God and respond in a way that honors Him. As it says in Romans 12:17-21, we should not repay evil for evil, but overcome evil with good. This doesn't mean we should ignore the wrongdoing, but rather, we should trust that God will handle it in His own way and in His own time.
Let's pray together, trusting that God will work in both your heart and the heart of this man.
