When It's Hard to Pray

Coffee or tea, and don't you love the freedom to make choices?! When Yeshua (Jesus) says to love our enemies, it also means praying for them. Sometimes this is hard to do, especially if you or someone close to you is the victim. Here's the thing.

This is happening to the Body of Christ all over the world. We must diligently pray for what the enemy is doing locally and for our brothers and sisters, as well, everywhere. The thing to remember is every person on planet Earth, including the good & the bad have an eternal soul, and a final destination - Heaven or Hell. Don't pray selfishly for G-d to "get them". He knows what they are doing and He will take up issue with them.

We however, pray that G-d will work though each of us to forgive them and pray that they will wake up to their wrongdoings, repent, change their ways and seek to follow Jesus. We may never know the outcome. We have no control over that. It is between them and G-d. This is not easy by a long shot. That is why you have Holy Spirit to help you. This way you follow what G-d wants you to do and not follow what you want to do. Selah
