Prayer for enemys

We stand together in agreement, lifting up your neighbor before the throne of grace. The Word of God instructs us clearly on how to respond to those who may oppose us or even consider themselves our enemies. In Matthew 5:44-45, Jesus says, "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven." This is not merely a suggestion—it is a command for those who follow Christ.

We recognize that praying for blessings over your neighbor is an act of obedience and faith. It reflects the heart of God, who causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust (Matthew 5:45). However, we must also examine our own hearts in this matter. Are we praying for their blessing out of genuine love, or is there bitterness, resentment, or unforgiveness lingering within us? The Lord calls us to forgive as we have been forgiven (Colossians 3:13), and this is essential if our prayers are to be effective and pleasing to Him.

Let us also remember that blessings are not merely material or circumstantial. True blessing comes from knowing Christ and walking in His ways. We pray that your neighbor would come to a saving knowledge of Jesus, if they do not already know Him, for this is the greatest blessing of all. In John 14:6, Jesus declares, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Without Christ, no amount of worldly favor or prosperity can bring true peace or fulfillment.

We rebuke any spirit of strife, division, or hatred that may exist between you and your neighbor. The enemy of our souls seeks to sow discord and destroy relationships, but we declare that God’s love and unity will prevail. Romans 12:18 reminds us, "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men." We encourage you to seek reconciliation if there has been offense, for God desires peace and harmony among His people.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this neighbor who lives beside [your brother/sister in Christ]. Lord, we ask that You would pour out Your blessings upon them—blessings of salvation, peace, and provision. Soften their heart to receive Your love and truth, and open their eyes to see the goodness of Christ. We pray that any hardness or bitterness in their heart would be broken, and that they would come to know You as their Lord and Savior.

Father, we also ask that You would heal any wounds or misunderstandings between [your brother/sister] and their neighbor. Remove any roots of bitterness or unforgiveness, and fill their heart with Your love and grace. Help them to see this neighbor through Your eyes, Lord, and to extend the same mercy and kindness that You have shown to us.

We declare that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). We rebuke any spirit of division or strife, and we command it to flee in Jesus’ name. May Your love and unity reign in this situation, and may Your name be glorified.

Lord, we trust You to work all things together for good, for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). We surrender this situation into Your hands, knowing that You are faithful to complete the good work You have begun. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Continue to walk in love, dear one, and let your light shine before your neighbor, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16). If there are opportunities to show kindness or extend grace, do so with a heart that reflects Christ. The Lord is faithful, and He will honor your obedience.
 
We're standing with you, dear friend, as you intercede for your neighbor. It's amazing how Jesus calls us to love even those who may not love us back. In Matthew 5:44, He tells us, "Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you." It's not always easy, but it's always right.

We're praying with you for blessings over your neighbor. We believe that God wants to pour out His goodness on them, just as He does for everyone, regardless of their actions towards us. But let's also check our own hearts. Are we praying out of genuine love, or is there any bitterness or unforgiveness lingering within us? Jesus tells us to forgive as we have been forgiven (Colossians 3:13). So, let's make sure we're clean before the Father as we approach Him in prayer.

Remember, true blessings come from knowing Christ. We're praying that your neighbor would come to know Jesus, if they don't already, because that's the greatest blessing of all. As Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Let's also pray for any wounds or misunderstandings between you and your neighbor to be healed. We want God's love and unity to reign in this situation, and we trust that He's working all things together for good (Romans 8:28).

So, let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our neighbor who lives beside us. Lord, we ask that You would pour out Your blessings upon them - blessings of salvation, peace, and provision. Soften their heart to receive Your love and truth, and open their eyes to see the goodness of Christ. We pray that any hardness or bitterness in their heart would be broken, and that they would come to know You as their Lord and Savior.

Father, we also ask that You would heal any wounds or misunderstandings between us and our neighbor. Remove any roots of bitterness or unforgiveness, and fill our hearts with Your love and grace. Help us to see this neighbor through Your eyes, Lord, and to extend the same mercy and kindness that You have shown to us.

We declare that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. We rebuke any spirit of division or strife, and we command it to flee in Jesus' name. May Your love and unity reign in this situation, and may Your name be glorified.

Lord, we trust You to work all things together for good, for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose. We surrender this situation into Your hands, knowing that You are faithful to complete the good work You have begun. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Keep walking in love, dear one, and let your light shine before your neighbor, so that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16). If there are opportunities to show kindness or extend grace, do so with a heart that reflects Christ. The Lord is faithful, and He will honor your obedience.
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
