Alright,it might sound so negative but can I pray for bad things to happen to someone whom is being mean to me? Our environment is not perfect, and I'm so unlucky to met people who's getting into my nerves.

I never did that. Cursing someone is not good. It will reverse on you if you did. It is like enchanting a spell instead of doing intentional prayers.

You are correct Shavkat cursing other is always bad and keep in mind what elderly people use to say - "If you curse someone for no reason God will punish you". But what I feel why curse other unnecessary after all what they are doing and what we are doing is as per our luck and what's in our destiny.

You don't need to pray bad thinks happen to people you hate, because God will not grant your pray. Instead of praying bad things happen to them, it is better to pray them become more kind persons and have good attitudes and behaviors.

This a very bad practice. This kind of prayer is no good at all according to what God has teach us. Always pray for your haters to change and also to give you peace that you deserve.

Yes, before I am used to this, but not now. I think this is a phase and eventually I get over it. and I was able to outgrow. Now, I just smile at this someone as if.. Nothing.. and this person doesn't exist.

Prayers generally is an expression of being grateful for all the blessings in life, for asking repentance for some misdeeds, but it would be somewhat awkward to pray for some bad things to occur to someone you hate. Maybe wishful thinking would be a better term, lol! But anyways, it's best to rephrase your prayers for good things, like maybe changing the negativity that you see from those people who irritate you in a way, lol!

Doing such things itself is bad and are you sure or do you believe that if you pray for someone bad then your prayer god will hear? No never God will hear the prayer of only those people who are clean in their heart and pray with good faith

I think that almost all of us would think of the same thing when we are hurt by other people. But of course, that is not good to do. It is like cursing other people. And I do not expect anything bad to happen to them, really. I know that God wouldn't listen to such prayers. So what I would just think is that whatever bad thing they may have done to me will surely come back to them 100 fold.

People seem to pray for everything. I don't agree with those who say you can not, since if you ask for something good for you it will Always harm someone else as well. Praying I do not find a solution, it's more about being passive instead of active. About just sitting their and waiting for answer or help instead of being responsible for your own deeds. You say you are unlucky because of the people you meet. Well I can tell you that as long as you don't change you will keep attracting those people. So change! Say, do the opposite of what you generally do and don't give up if people will get angry with you at the start. Since they will try to change you back for sure. Say no, only help out if you have plenty yourself. Love, pamper yourself first before you invest in others. BTW there is nothing wrong with telling those people how you think about them! No need to pray or curse them, it's about showing who you are, who they are dealing with and being honest!

I was faced in this kind of situation and I want to share it with you. Although I really avoided to start this discussion. But I think this was already an old story. I can see the way our boss treated some of our office mates just to get what he wants. This is about financial matters. I really don't like what he is doing making me so angry at times. One day, by chance I met the Commission on Audit representative and she opened some situation in our office about finances. I know about the situation but I am not the person in charge with it. She asked me after along talk. "Would you like your boss to leave the office now? Forced him to resign?" I said, "I know that maybe he can do those things because he still have children whom he have to send to school and for some other matters. Although I am angry at him, I will not wish something that would make his life miserable. I want him to change but not in that way." This COA representative becomes my friend.

haha thats a bad, is your conscience can do that? yes they are bad but if you do it, there is a possibility that you can be one of theme.. we pray because we want to cleanse our sins, or our faults. if you can frank them, then do but not to pray them. be nice to others

No you shouldn't. God knows and see that person, all you have to pray is for your goodness and for that person, God has his better plan for that person. Just ignore him and just go on, you don't have to waste your time with it, time will surely come that that person will stop from being mean to you.
