Pray for my neighbors they are bothering us

We join with you in prayer for your neighbors and we thank you for having a heart that seeks not only peace but their salvation, which is the greatest good we can desire for anyone.
The Lord calls us to respond to those who trouble us not with anger or retaliation, but with love and prayer. Jesus said in Matthew 5:44, 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. And in Romans 12:18 we are taught, If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. This can be difficult when we feel bothered in our own homes, yet God uses even these trials to refine us and to open a door to show Christ to those around us. A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger, Proverbs 15:1, and we are called to overcome evil with good, Romans 12:21.
We also love your prayer that God would give them a good heart and salvation. That is exactly what God promises to do for those who turn to Him. He says in Ezekiel 36:26, I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. Salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ, and we rejoice that you prayed in His name, for there is no other name by which we can be saved and have access to the Father.
Let us pray together.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ and we lift up these neighbors to You. Lord, You know the situation and the ways they have been bothering Your child. We ask You to pour out Your grace and mercy upon them. Take away any stony heart and give them a new heart and a new spirit that seeks You. Draw them to Yourself, open their eyes to the truth of the gospel, and grant them repentance and faith in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. We pray that You would bring peace to this neighborhood and help all to live at peace as much as it depends on us. Give our dear neighbor wisdom, patience, and love to respond with gentleness and to be a light for Christ, so that through godly conduct Your name may be glorified. Let Your will be done and let Your love transform every heart involved. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Thank you for sharing this burden with us. Living with ongoing friction next door is wearying, and the fact that your first instinct is to ask God to give your neighbors good hearts and salvation says a lot about your heart.
Wanting peace at home and wanting good for them can live side by side. One way we have seen people walk this out is to make a clear inner decision not to repay or rehearse the irritation, and to keep treating the neighbor as a person made in God's image, even while still naming honestly that the bother is real. That decision often comes before feelings catch up, and that is normal. Feelings may still rise and fall day to day.
A simple next step that helps many is to keep praying for them by name at a set time, briefly and consistently, and to look for one calm, respectful boundary or kindness you can hold this week, whether that is a brief friendly greeting, a calm word about the specific issue when things are quiet, or asking a trusted landlord or mediator to help if direct talk has not helped.
Father, in Jesus name we lift these neighbors to you. Work in their hearts and draw them to salvation, and give our friend wisdom, peace at home, and grace to respond well each day. Amen.

Your prayer for your neighbors is heard, and we join our hearts with yours before the throne of grace. It is a gracious work in you that when you are troubled on every side you do not cry for judgment upon them, but for a good heart and for salvation for them. A man's salvation that he never wishes to spread among others is not worth having, and you show that the love of Christ constrains you to desire that your neighbors also should be brought to Jesus' feet. If it is a common salvation, go and make it common, as the word exhorts us.
We know what it is to be pressed by thronging duties and by sorrows surging round, and the Lord has a word for you in such a season. You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. This peace is a present possession and may be enjoyed in the ordinary circumstances of life, even when neighbors disturb your quiet. Bear your sorrow with Him and you shall enjoy peace, perfect peace, gleaming with a heavenly light even in the midnight of care. The blood of Jesus whispers peace within, and to do the will of Jesus, this is rest.
For your neighbors, we pray as Scripture directs us to pray. Salvation is of the Lord alone, and beside Him there is none else. The way is simple and instantaneous. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth. The Scripture says, Whoever believes on Him shall not be ashamed. What is believing on Him? It is trusting in Him, depending upon Him without fear as to present and eternal salvation. It is believing on a Person, not on a notion, but on Christ Himself, for He Himself is salvation.
This salvation is by grace, not by works, and it is a present salvation and a perfect salvation. He who made a happy world gives a happy redemption, and His ways are ways of pleasantness and all His paths are peace. If a man believes in Christ with all his heart, his salvation is secure beyond hazard.
Let us pray together.
O Lord our God, look in mercy upon these neighbors of whom our friend complains. Turn their hearts, give them good hearts by Your Spirit, and bring them to look unto Jesus and be saved. Save them by Your free grace through faith in Christ Jesus alone, for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. Grant also to this praying soul perfect peace, with mind stayed on You, trusting in You amid this trial, and give wisdom and love to speak and to live the gospel before those who are near. Make Your common salvation known in that neighborhood, to Your glory. In the name of Jesus our only hope we ask it, Amen.

I prayed for this in Jesus Name.

Beloved of All
Your prayer for your neighbors is good and pleasing to God, to ask not for judgment against them but for a good heart and salvation for them in the name of Jesus. This is the gentleness to which we are trained, to pray for those who trouble us and to seek their forgiveness and ours.
We join you in prayer that the Lord will soften their hearts, open their eyes to the truth of the gospel, and draw them to salvation through Jesus Christ alone, for there is no other name by which we are saved. We pray also that He will give you patience and peace, and guard you from returning evil for evil or from biting and devouring in word or deed. When we are bothered or wronged, the victory is more glorious when we remain quiet, patient, and full of love, waiting on God and not rushing into conflict.
May God teach you to have a gentle soul, to forgive as you have been forgiven much more, and to despise quarrels that come from the things of this life. May He keep your home in peace and let your kindness be a witness to your neighbors, so that seeing your forbearance they may be drawn to Christ.
We pray: Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, have mercy on these neighbors and grant them repentance and a new heart, that they may know Your salvation. Give to the one who prayed a spirit of gentleness and endurance, and let no root of bitterness remain. Fill both households with Your peace, and let all be done to Your glory. Amen.
