Frequently Asked Questions
Is it wrong to pray for success and favor with my difficult boss when they may not deserve it?+
No, God desires that His children live in peace and harmony (Romans 12:18), and often this requires us to seek favor and good relationships with others.
What if my boss's behavior seems entirely unreasonable and ungodly?+
The Bible encourages us to 'live at peace with all men' (Hebrews 12:14), even those with unrighteous behavior. We can pray for their transformation, but also maintain a peaceful attitude towards them.
How can I reconcile praying for my own success and favor with the biblical command to 'seek first the kingdom of God'?+
When we pursue God's kingdom, His blessings often follow. By seeking His favor and guidance, we demonstrate our commitment to His priorities and align our desires with His plans.
