I am instructed to pray for our enemies. Thus I pray for those who terrorize, and I pray for those who blaspheme.
Almighty God, just as you confronted Paul on the road to Damascus and turned his mission of destruction into a ministry of hope, confront those who oppose you—those who use guns and those who use headlines. Knock them off of their high horses and turn their worlds upside down. Light a mission of hope in their hearts, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
It IS all about forgiveness, but it’s not my preserve – they haven’t wronged me personally, so it’s between them and God.
But I’ll happily arrange the meeting.
A divine appointment!
