hard prayer

Luke 6:28
bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

If someone is mean, filled with rage, a pain in the butt or worse, the easy thing to do is ignore them or take revenge. Neither of these responses works in God’s Kingdom ways.

If you want people who view themselves as your enemies to be transformed, they need the power of Jesus and his forgiveness. We don’t get right before God on our own. The only source of hope for them is the same as for you. Jesus. So, go to Jesus about them.

Who do you need to pray for in this category?
