Alexander, the metalworker, did me a great deal of harm. The Lord will repay him for what he has done. You, too, should be on your guard against him because he strongly opposed our message. (2 Tim 4:14-15 NIV)

Prayer: LORD, when someone is intentionally harmful to me or what You have commissioned me to do, I would like to reason with them. Some people, however, are just not reasonable. Increase Your wisdom in me so I can discern whether to attempt to get along with someone or avoid them altogether. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
