Praying For Those We Disagree With

Praying for those we disagree with, including those who have hurled insults at us, including those who have hurled insults at us, shown hatred or who are so far from our point of view it feels like they live on a different planet – Praying for our enemies is what is needed it’s what we are commanded to do.

And, when we pray for our enemies, it is possible that God may indeed change them, however, He is more likely to change us. This doesn’t mean our opinions will change, but it does mean we are likely to have more peace in regard to the situation.

When we sincerely pray for others, it’s nearly impossible for a root of bitterness to grow in our hearts toward them. Instead of being quick to respond unkindly to our enemy, we can draw upon our relationship with God to respond to them with love and wisdom.

The choice is yours. No matter what the issue of the day may be, we will always have someone who opposes us or who believes something different that we do. Instead of getting angry, taking offense, or pridefully defending our point of view, we can choose to show patience, love and goodwill.
