Difficult Boss

Dear Victorious,

I have a boss that is very difficult (and that's being kind). I could regale you with stories of his audacity and crassness. His reputation is unbelievable because his behavior is unreal. What can I do?

Dear George,

As a Christian, the most important thing you can do is to pray for your difficult boss. Do you love your boss? Are you obedient to your boss? Those would also be great things to do for your boss. But they are secondary to the prayer.

How do you pray for a difficult boss? Pray for God to draw him (or her) to Himself. Pray that God would soften their heart, help them to see the truth in the work circumstances. Pray that God will help you see your boss the same way He sees him (or her). And pray that God would lead you to honorable responses to your boss. Let your words, thoughts and actions be God-honoring. You see, these are the kinds of prayers that God loves to answer.
