Praying for your boss might not change the boss but it definitely changes your own heart. In my case, it was humbling because I started to see that he was just an insecure person intimidated by all the sharp legal and policy people we worked with, and I also saw how if I didn’t have faith in a loving and just God, I could justify similar (if not worse) behavior. Didn’t help me like him any better but it did help me loathe him a little less.
Yes, I know it may have little effect on her but that it’s for my benefit. I’ve just fallen so short, I don’t want to sound hypocritical as I do pray for her. I guess I need to back and ask that God deal with me first :-) Thanks for the encouragement!
