Yes, I've prayed for them. But not for a long time, but praying for enemies could set me free from the miseries and fears.

When I pray for my enemies I ask the Lord that He opens their eyes to who he is so they may become a brother or sister in Christ so that all of our lives may be better through him. Or I pray he breaks their pride so they fall having no where else to turn but to Jesus that they listen to Him. I had one woman tell me she loved Satan where I spoke to her about Jesus and I asked her why and she couldn't give me a response she was just trying to hurt me with words. I pray for her everyday I fear for her soul and I ask everyone else to do the same she truly is blinded by Satan. And a lot more people are like that as well. I pray for them all.

If ever someone becomes significant enough for me to consider them an enemy, I will keep the information in this thread in mind.

Yes. And it seems like they get WORSE! I also pray when specifically directed. Or, when I feel used and abused or persecuted. Otherwise my prayers first go to those I see in physical pain or need or family. I am having a LOT of trials and persecutions lately as well as being badly used by several people who CLAIM CHRIST! I am not going to lay it out here. But imagine being vulnerable, and being poorly used and unable to ESCAPE as these beasts take everything they can take from you, and you can only be nice and pray for them and keep your mouth closed. AS YOU WATCH THEM TAKE all your life and belongings and household goods AWAY. MY LIFE AND HOPE AND HOUSEHOLD DEVOURED BY THESE DEVILISH PEOPLE. GOD HELP ME! I am widowed and stranded at almost 60 in poor health. I have kept praying for them. But I am at their mercy. The court thing has me stuck in their grasp, IT delayed me and i had to give them ALMOST MY STUFF JUST FOR A PLACE TO CAMP.

BTW. I have SOAKED MYSELF IN JOB'S BOOK IN THE BIBLE. Just as Job Proclaimed, "For I KNOW that when HE hath TRIED me, I SHALL come FORTH as GOLD." I BELIEVE.

And I DO NOT fancy myself even CLOSE to JOB'S PIETY AND FAITH. HE IS JUST MY EXAMPLE OF TRIUMPH IN TRIALS.
