Yes, I know. The scripture in the book of Romans actually reads, "Bless those who curse you." However, we all know it could also mean, bless those who piss you off. A member of my Florida bible study group, who I'll call M, used to testify about how she would always pray for her boss inspite of his abrasive and cantankerous behaviour.
While M and her boss would have it out, at the end of the day, when he did show restraint M colleagues would thank her for having prayed.
I've recently learned through personal experience, that we can change the behavior of people who piss off us, by blessing them. Those people won't or may never be any more pleasant that before. However, you will find that you can deal with them better and that they might even apologize for their behavior and give a gift of appreciation. Try it and see.
