It depends on what is in your heart with that kind of a prayer. Can you tell us what that would be?
For a stronger relationship with God, read Psalm 23 and Luke 2 and Hebrews 11. Then check back here.

I am not a minister, but am 70 yrs old, a widower, and a Christian. I attend Baptist church about every Sunday.
No, it isn't wrong to pray for someone, if that prayer is in the best interest of that person. Such as; praying that he/she will get well, or feel better, or find a job soon. If you are praying for a person to move away for selfish reasons, I would think twice about it.You can have a stronger relationship with God by prayer, attending church, helping others with anything when you can, and trying your best to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". I wish you the best, and may God Bless you and keep you safe.
Merry Christmas.

We are told thourgh scripture that some prayers go unasnwered because we are asking amiss. So there are right and wrong prayers to pray along with right and wrong WAYS to pray. If you are going to pray for divint intervention into someone's life, it needs to be in their best interest, not yours.
If it is a closer relationship with God you seek, you MUST read the Word of God. By getting to know God better and what His Word has revealed you will also be able to pray better. Our walk with Christ is a work in progress. Nobody has ever attained it's peak. There are no short cuts or quick answers. READ THE BIBLE.

Rather than asking God to make someone move away, which is not what prayer is for, pray for guidance in your life, to help you make good decisions. God isn't Santa Claus, handing out favors.
If you are having difficulty getting along with someone, or you are suffering from envy and jealousy, you want strength in your heart to be your own person, and make good choices, without relying on others to define you.
