Good Morning Family,
"But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." - Matthew 5:44
It is somewhat easy to pray and communicate with God about our own needs. It is a rather simple task to pray for someone who requests our prayer that we know and support. But let's be honest and attest that one of the most challenging things to do in regards to prayer is praying for someone who does not like us, betrays us, or who is constantly against us. We may want to get even or our hope is maybe that God gives them what we think they deserve...
This is hardly the case beloved, we are called to pray for those who are against us, who wrong us, and who hurt us. That's right, we are to pray for our enemies. Why would we pray for someone who may do us harm...?
One simple word...Love...We are called to be agents of love...We are challenged to live in the place of showing and exhibiting love...As difficult as it may be try praying for your enemies today and see how God releases you from the burden of hatred...
"It's me...It's me...It's me...O Lord...standing in the need of prayer...
