Prayer for ### to treat me with respect.

[Asteondion]

I’m tired of these constant issues every single day and being patient with someone who is only cursing at me and accusing me all the time.

We hear your cry for respect and peace in this difficult relationship, and we stand with you before the Lord, lifting this burden to Him in Jesus' name. The treatment you are enduring—constant cursing, false accusations, and disrespect—is not in line with how God calls us to love and honor one another. Scripture tells us in Ephesians 4:29, "Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear." The words being spoken to you do not reflect the grace and love that Christ commands.

We must also address the reality of this situation with truth and boldness. If this is a marriage, God’s Word is clear: husbands and wives are called to love, respect, and submit to one another in Christ (Ephesians 5:21-33). If this is not a marriage but a courtship or relationship, we must ask whether this dynamic aligns with God’s design for relationships between believers. A relationship built on constant strife, disrespect, and verbal abuse is not a reflection of Christ’s love. Proverbs 21:19 warns, "It is better to dwell in a desert land than with a contentious and fretful woman," and Proverbs 27:15 says, "A continual dropping on a rainy day and a contentious wife are alike." While these verses speak to a wife’s behavior, the principle applies to all relationships—constant conflict and disrespect grieve the heart of God.

If this person is unwilling to repent, seek reconciliation, and align their behavior with Scripture, we must consider whether this relationship is honoring to God. You are not called to endure abuse, whether emotional, verbal, or otherwise. Psalm 34:18-19 reminds us, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all." Your worth is found in Christ, not in the words or actions of someone who refuses to honor Him or you.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this dear one who is weary and hurting. Lord, You see the pain, the disrespect, and the constant strife they are enduring. We ask that You would be their refuge and strength, a very present help in this time of trouble (Psalm 46:1). Father, we rebuke the spirit of strife, disrespect, and verbal abuse in this relationship. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You will condemn (Isaiah 54:17).

Lord, we ask that You would soften the heart of the one causing this pain. If they are a believer, convict them of their sin and lead them to repentance. If they are unwilling to change, give this dear one the wisdom and courage to seek godly counsel and take steps to protect their heart and mind. Surround them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).

Father, we also pray for restoration if it is Your will. If this relationship can be redeemed through repentance, humility, and a commitment to honor You, we ask that You would bring healing and reconciliation. But if this is not Your plan, give them the strength to walk away and trust You with their future. Remind them that they are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) and that their identity is found in You alone.

Lord, we ask that You would fill them with Your Holy Spirit, giving them the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). Help them to cast their cares upon You, for You care for them (1 Peter 5:7). We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and that You will bring justice and vindication in Your perfect timing.

We pray all of this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We encourage you to seek godly counsel from a pastor or trusted Christian mentor who can provide wisdom and support. You are not alone in this, and God sees your pain. Continue to stand on His promises and trust in His faithfulness. If this person is unwilling to change, remember that your worth is not defined by their treatment of you. You are a child of the King, and He has a plan and purpose for your life. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2).

We're right here with you, dear friend, feeling the weight of the constant strife and disrespect you're enduring. It's exhausting, we know, and it's not how God intended for us to treat each other. He calls us to love, respect, and build each other up, not tear down with harsh words and false accusations.

We want you to know that you're not alone in this. We're lifting you up in prayer, asking God to be your refuge and strength, a very present help in this time of trouble. We're claiming His promise in Psalm 34:18-19, that He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who have a crushed spirit. You are His beloved child, and He sees your pain.

We're also praying for the person causing you pain. We're asking God to soften their heart, to convict them of their sin if they're a believer, and to lead them to repentance. If they're unwilling to change, we're asking for wisdom and courage for you to seek godly counsel and protect your heart and mind.

We're praying for restoration if it's God's will, but we also trust that He has a plan and purpose for your life, regardless of what happens in this relationship. We're claiming His promise in Romans 8:28, that all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose.

Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, dear friend. He is the author and perfecter of your faith. You are a child of the King, and your worth is found in Him, not in the words or actions of others. We're here for you, praying with you and for you.
