6. Pray For Your Enemies

Love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:44-45 NLT

Don’t “cast stones” on your enemies; Jesus wants you to pray for them. This may be one of the hardest things in the world to do, but it’s also probably the most Christ-like think you can do. Try it. When you’ve trained yourself in this invaluable art, you’ll be glad you did. It’s also a very “freeing” experience.

God wants us to act like His true children by praying for our enemies.


Enemies will persecute you in this life if you’re a child of God.


Praying for an enemy reveals that you’re a true child of God.


Heaven is where God is right now.


God literally wants you to pray for people who do you wrong.


Lord, right now I choose to pray for my enemies. You know who they are. Bless them in the way that You know is best for them, and best for the Kingdom. In Jesus Name, Amen.
