I am having problems with some individual who are harassing me and rather then curse them, the word says to bless them. I would rather pray that prayer or anyone you guys can help me with. Love you! Lil Bit

Dear Lil Bit, Here is your answer Luke Ch.6 V 28. Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. But there is much more to the word of God than that. It is all good and the more you read the more you want to so keep reading and praying and God will bless you so much.

There is also the story in Numbers 22 & 23 about a king that wanted to curse Isreal but Balaam was met by and Angel and told that he could only say what God put in his mouth. He couldn't curse Isreal and only blessings came out of his mouth.
And the call of Abraham where the Lord tells him that He will bless those that bless him and curse those that curse him. Genesis 12
1 The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you.
2 "I will make you into a great nation
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you."
God wants us to be a blessing to all the peoples of the earth.

In keeping your heart pure Matthew 5:44 which has already been stated says to pray for them,
and Luke 6:28; bless them that curse you, and pray for them that despitefully use you, and Romans 12:14; bless them which persecute you, Bless them and curse not..
And rest assured by Gods word that says the battle is not yours. He will if you keep your heart right and pure and do not curse these God himself will prepare for you a table before you enemies.
So pray to the Father that he would bless them with the convicting power of the Holy Spirit, that their soul not be lost, that they might become justified before him and found guiltless of sin. Father forgive them of their sin. In Jesus Name.
Then do not speak anything against them ever. as long as you curse them, you your self will become cursed.

It is from Jesus' sermon on the mount in Matthew 5.
the specific verse is 44, you will want to read both verse 43 and 44.
The whole sermon on the mount is very good instruction.
You can find the whole sermon on the mount in chapters 5-7.
Never curse anyone, never hold bitterness in your heart.
The Christian life is one of servant-hood to others.

Matthew Chapter 5. It's the Beatitudes, found in the sermon on the mount.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. (Matthew 5:11-12)

Matthew 5:
Love for Enemies
43"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor[h] and hate your enemy.' 44But I tell you: Love your enemies[i] and pray for those who persecute you, 45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
