"But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Matthew 5:44
It is important to pray for your enemies. Praying for those that hurt you will bring blessings to you. We are called to pray and to love them. Our “enemies,” often are ordinary people who are mean, impatient, judgmental, self-righteous, and spiteful-or just happen to disagree with us. In whatever personal relationships we have, God wants us to love. Whether a conflict is with our marriage partner, our children or parents, our friends and fellow church members, a devious business opponent, spiteful neighbor, political foe, or social antagonist, our attitude toward them should be one of prayerful love. God is love. Therefore we must love.
