Many of us would love to see our enemies demise. After all, they’ve caused much chaos in our lives. It really wouldn’t phase us if we heard that they died. Some of us would shout and say; Lord I got the victory. Many of us would say; that’s what you get for messing with a child of God. But, none of us would think twice about them or the family they left behind. We need to sincerely pray for our enemies. Realizing they are children of God too. The bible says; it not his will that none shall perish. Because someone is your enemy, doesn’t mean they need to go to hell. Some of us don’t really know how to pray for our enemy, so let’s try this:
Lord I want to thank you for my enemies. For if it had not been for them, I wouldn’t know how to pray and I wouldn’t have the relationship I have with you. Now Lord, I ask that you watch over my enemies and keep them. If they don’t have a relationship with you, don’t let them close their eyes in death until they do. Keep them safe and secure, and watch over their families. Lord let no hurt, harm, or danger come to them. Keep them from dangers seen and unseen. Lord, don’t let them lack anything and bless them bountifully. Lord most of all, forgive them for what they’ve done to me and help me to have true forgiveness for them. Teach me to love them, for I know I may be just like them and I’m someone’s enemy too. So, Lord forgive me too. Lord, let us reconcile our differences and hold no grudges towards each other. Help me to keep my mouth off them, and keep my focus on you. In Jesus name amen.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
