So since his loved to look down and mocked on me right, pray that he would be reduced from his professor job to Macdonald and the his skills is also unqualified as it will be taken over by AI as what he said.
 
We come before the Lord with a heavy heart, lifting up this situation concerning your mentor. First, we must address the spirit in which this request has been made. Scripture warns us in James 4:6, "But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, 'God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.'" While it is right to desire repentance for someone who has sinned, we must examine our own hearts and ensure we are not harboring bitterness, resentment, or a desire for vengeance. Romans 12:19 tells us, "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.'"

It is clear that your mentor has acted with pride and arrogance, looking down upon you and others. This is a serious sin in the eyes of the Lord, for Proverbs 16:18 warns, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." We do pray for his repentance, not so that he may be humbled in the way you have described, but so that he may turn from his sin and be restored in his relationship with God. True humility comes from the Lord, as Philippians 2:3-4 reminds us, "Do nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself; each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others."

We must also address the fact that this request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). 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." If your mentor does not know Jesus as his Lord and Savior, we pray that he would come to a saving knowledge of Him, for it is only then that true repentance and transformation can occur.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts that long to see Your will done in this situation. We lift up this mentor to You, Lord, and we ask that You would convict him of his sin of pride and arrogance. Soften his heart, Father, and help him to see the error of his ways. We pray that he would repent and turn to You, seeking Your forgiveness and grace. Lord, we ask that You would humble him, not in the way that has been described, but in a way that draws him closer to You. Help him to see the value in every person, regardless of their position or status, and to treat others with the love and respect that You command.

Father, we also pray for ###, that You would heal any wounds caused by this mentor's words and actions. Help ### to release any bitterness or desire for vengeance, and to trust in Your justice. Teach ### to respond in love and to pray for this mentor as You have commanded us to pray for those who mistreat us (Matthew 5:44).

Lord, we ask that You would work in this situation for Your glory. If it is Your will, we pray that this mentor would be removed from his position, not as a punishment, but as an opportunity for him to seek You and to grow in humility. We pray that he would come to know Jesus as his Lord and Savior, if he does not already, and that he would experience the transforming power of Your love.

We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We encourage you to continue praying for this mentor, not with a heart of vengeance, but with a heart that desires to see him come to repentance and know the love of Christ. Remember the words of 1 Peter 3:9, "Don’t repay evil for evil, or insult for insult; but instead bless, because to this you were called, that you may inherit a blessing." Trust in the Lord to bring about justice and to work all things together for good (Romans 8:28). Keep your heart pure before the Lord, and He will guide your steps.
 
It hurts deeply when someone in a position of trust uses their influence to tear us down rather than build us up. We can hear how much pain is behind this request, and we are genuinely sorry you've been made to feel small and mocked. That kind of wound goes deep, and wanting some form of justice is a natural human response.

What we are gently learning is that when we carry a desire for someone else's humiliation, the weight of it tends to crush us more than it ever reaches them. Your mentor may indeed have much to answer for, and pride like that often brings its own consequences in time. But right now, the more pressing need seems to be what this hurt is doing inside you. You deserve freedom from having your thoughts and prayers shaped by what someone else did.

One small step you might consider this week is simply to pause when the mental replay starts and say, "Lord, You see what happened. I release this to You." Not because it was okay, it wasn't, but because carrying the debt yourself is exhausting, and you were not made to carry it alone.

We are joining you in praying something a little different: not that your mentor would be stripped of his skills, but that God Himself would tend to your own heart and let you breathe again, unburdened by this.

Lord Jesus, You see the hurt this person has carried, and You know exactly what those words and looks cost them. Would You meet them right where the sting is sharpest, and be near in a way they can feel? Quiet the noise of resentment long enough for Your voice to be heard. And as for the mentor, we trust You to deal with pride however You see fit, that is Your work. But for the one praying, grant peace, the recovery of dignity, and wisdom for how to move forward. In Your name we ask it, amen.
 
You have come asking prayer for your mentor’s humiliation, yet the prayer itself betrays a festering wound of resentment that needs the Surgeon’s knife far more than his pride does. To wish a brother brought low, stripped of his livelihood and dignity, until he serves at a common counter, is not the prayer of a heart that has known the sweetness of repentance unto life. It smacks of that carnal repentance which judgment may squeeze from the unregenerate, but it is not the holy, heaven-born grief that gives God glory. Shall you, who have felt the sting of being looked down upon, now look down with such fierce satisfaction upon the abasement you crave for another? Pride is as hard to get rid of as charlock from the furrows; it imitates humility, but is most truly pride. Even your plea for his humbling may be nothing but another form of that same haughty spirit, for pride is a sin with a thousand lives!

True repentance, the only sort worth praying for, is a gift of the exalted Prince, preached in His name. It is not born from threats of reduction or the lash of a slaveholder, but drawn by the cords of the goodness of God. Do you think that if the Almighty were to answer such a vengeful petition and tumble your mentor into the dust, the repentance wrung from him would be anything more than the qualms of a mariner fearing shipwreck? “Judgments may do great good by humbling,” but they work no good of themselves. The repentance that saves is that which leads the soul to look out of self to Christ and to Christ only. What then? Rather than praying him down to a menial station, ought you not rather to sink lower down yourself? Sink lower down! Mortify your own pride, my friend! Let the Spirit search your heart until you see how far you have fallen from the mind of Jesus, who when reviled, reviled not again, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously.

Your own words expose a soul that needs to be humbled before judgment falls on you. Do you not remember how the sun of prosperity and self-regard can look upon you, taking away the fairness of your humility, freckling and blackening your face with a pride that is obnoxious to God? I charge you: wrap your face in your mantle tonight! Repent of this bitter root, lest it spring up and defile many. Pray rather, “O Lord, break my hard heart, and if it pleases Thee, break my brother’s heart also, that together we may loathe our sin and cling to the cross.” Do not point to heaven and then turn your back to it by cherishing malice. The gospel makes a clean sweep of sin; down with the weapons of your rebellion! Down with them, every one! Then, with a soul washed in the fountain filled with blood, you may plead for your mentor, not that he be disgraced, but that the goodness of God might lead him to the same sweet repentance wherein Sister Repentance becomes charming company, even at the gates of pearl.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God is so in love with you. Be Encouraged!

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Matthew 6:33: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body

 
What you ask is not a prayer but a curse, and such a petition rises from a heart inflamed with pride and wrath. You seek that your mentor be reduced, humiliated, stripped of his skills, thrown down from his position to a place you consider low. Is this the mind of Christ, who when reviled did not revile in return, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously? You have become the Pharisee in your own soul, thanking God that you are not as this man, while all the while you are consumed by the very pride you condemn in him. The Lord resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. And what humility is this, to gloat over the imagined downfall of another? Even the tears of Esau were not tears of repentance, but of wounded pride and rage; they found no place of repentance because his heart remained murderous. Your words betray the same spirit.

I do not say this to wound you, but that you might be truly healed. Godly sorrow works repentance unto salvation, a repentance that brings no regret. You lament your mentor’s sin, but you yourself have fallen into a greater snare. To pray for his harm is to crucify the Son of God afresh in your own heart, for He died for that very man. If your mentor has looked down on you, then remember how the Master washed the feet of the one who would betray Him. He gave Himself freely, and commands you to give freely, not vengeance, but forgiveness.

Do you desire that your mentor repent? Then pray that the eyes of his understanding be enlightened, that he may see his sin as God sees it, and that godly sorrow may break the fetters of his pride. And pray also for yourself, that you may be freed from the poison of resentment, which eats away the soul more terribly than any outward affliction. The true fast, the true prayer, is to loose the bands of wickedness, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke, beginning with the yoke of bitterness on your own neck. Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, and He will lift you up. For the one who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.

Because you his son, though a professor, is not yet even a babe in the kingdom unless he becomes as a little child, free from pride, envy, and the madness of vainglory. And you, my child, can lead him there not by praying him into a fast-food uniform, but by showing him the meekness and lowliness of heart that are the true marks of the disciple. Go, and be reconciled to your brother, first casting out the beam from your own eye. Then your prayer will no longer be an abomination, but a sweet-smelling savor before the throne of grace.
 
I hear the deep hurt behind your words, and I understand the frustration you feel when someone who should be building you up instead looks down on you with mockery. The sting of being treated with contempt by a mentor cuts deeply. But as I read your request, I notice the prayer itself has taken a very specific turn: you are asking God to reduce this man’s skills, strip him of his profession, and humble him through public demotion. I need to gently press into that desire with you.

There is a sorrow that arises from being wronged, and that sorrow is real. Yet the Scriptures show us that not all sorrow leads to life. There is a worldly sorrow that dwells on bitterness and dreams of payback, and that kind of sorrow ultimately brings death to our own souls. You mentioned that he mocked you, and I think of the teenage Ishmael sneering at Isaac during the feast. But what followed was not a plea for Ishmael’s repentance but an expulsion born of family pain. When we fixate on seeing someone else taken down, our own heart can become tangled in pride and resentment, even while we claim to want repentance.

True repentance is far more than someone being made sorry by consequences. Esau wept loudly over losing the blessing, but his tears were not tears of a changed heart; they were tears of anger and wounded entitlement. The apostle Paul later distinguished between a sorrow that leads to real change, a godly sorrow that produces a turning away from sin, and a sorrow of the world that simply mourns having been caught or punished. Genuine repentance always shows itself in a changed direction. John the Baptist told the religious crowds to bring forth fruit that matched repentance; it wasn’t enough to feel bad or even to say, “I have sinned.” The fruit had to be visible.

Right now, your prayer is asking God to humble your mentor by stripping away his standing and ability. But that is not a prayer for his repentance; it is a prayer for his ruin. It echoes a desire to see him suffer the very shame he poured on you. Yet God does not delight in humbling a person merely to satisfy another’s sense of justice. When David’s pride moved him to number the fighting men of Israel, judgment fell, but David’s own heart had to be broken in repentance. The aim was never demolition for its own sake; it was restoration.

Will you consider turning your sorrow in a different direction? Rather than asking God to reduce your mentor to a service job and make his skills obsolete, a wish born from wounded pride, ask God to grant him a true change of mind and life. Pray that his eyes would be opened to the arrogance that hurt you, and that he would turn from it. For your part, the fruit of repentance might look like releasing your grip on the bitterness and entrusting the matter to the One who judges justly. The Lord is able to deal with pride without our needing to script the humiliation.

Let your own heart be softened into godly sorrow, not hardened into a resentment that keeps replaying the offense. The one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit and fire also smooths the rough places of pride, in every life, including yours and mine. Bring your pain honestly before God, but invite him to do his work in both of you. That is a prayer he will hear.
