Yeah its about bible verse which bothers me and which i dont really understand that s why i add it here to help me understand

Luke 6:28

This is the verse i talked about and could you please help me understand does this mean that we use every time our lord s name with (bless you) to bless someone when someone say something mean or rude to me swear at me cuss at me and wish person that their day is great so on is that when we do it?

Of course to not take it out of context please show me how to do it right to interpeted scripture correct way

Because i saw trough history people been blessing using lord name so does that mean when we use our lord name with bless you is not vain use? for good purpose

My understanding of this verse is that we aren’t to feel any kind of resentment towards them and that we aren’t to hold any grudges, that we are forgive them, that we are to pray for them.
 
I think we should interpret Luke 6-28 in context with the next phrases.
27But I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. 28Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who slander you. 29And to him who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your coat, do not withhold even your tunic.
I think it refers not only to language but to not respond enemies with the same measure they attack you with and be forgiving. Because sometimes people acting in a bad way is just an event through which our faith is tested, they can be just a tool of destiny and if we pass the test then maybe they won’t be judged either for their bad behavior but rather as a whole the situation ended to the glory of Christ.
I personally found that actually thanking the enemies and blessing them loud only exacerbates their aggressivity so it is counter productive. And the desired result is to bring peace to the situation so I pray for them in private and not inform them that I pray for them.

Thank you even so i know that << but ok my main question was just blessing

blessing if person curse us like saying swear cussing words
and praying is if person said really something bad what is caused by harrasment

Do you have an example how to pray for them?
i know it s awkward but i am not smart
 
In your mind “Dear Lord Jesus, I pray that you will bless this person. Give them peace and every happiness. Amen”
 
Allright thanks for the advice and wait a moment i can bless person 2 ways with my words and in prayer
 
We ask God to bless people. We can be a blessing to people by doing good things for them. Prayer is one way we can bless people.
 
That is amazing also what whould be a good way to say in prayer from just blessing if you want that person comes closer to our lord you know i mean to do same thing to bless how we blessed them

Add to your prayer any words you like. The prayer need not be said aloud to the person, just pray in the silence of your heart.

I mean like this. Someone is mean to you. Yoy would.rather tell them to.go.hell. But you are Christian. You know that is wrong. You want to tell them “I will pray for you” or “God bless” in a loud voice. And if you do they get even angrier.
I don’t think it’s wrong to say tjose things I strongly don’t. But in real life I found out that if I could just say nothing and then at night or when I am in private I pray to God to illumine those.persons in the truth of Jesus Christ,.I found that people who were mean just somehow let it go.
When people go mean just say nothing and then next chance pray for them. But don’t tell them that you will pray for them or anything. Just say nothing to their face.
 
That s what i actually asked finally an answer i wanted thank you

plus saying god bless to someone whu insulted me isnt vain use?
that s actually recommended right
 
No, saying God bless isn’t vain use. However, if saying “God bless” out loud would only make the person more upset, then it would be better not to say them out loud but only silently in your mind and heart.
