Day 10 Dealing with Judas

Pray for Those Who Hurt You

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭43‬-‭44‬ ‭KJV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.5.44.KJV

Praying for someone does not mean saying that their behaviour is acceptable.

It means refusing to surrender your heart to hatred.

Pray:

“Lord, work in their heart. Work in mine. Protect my family. Bring truth into the light. Give me wisdom. Jesus, I find these people difficult to deal with. I cannot change them, but You can. I ask You to work in their lives and in mine. Remove bitterness from me and give me wisdom about how to respond. Amen.”

Christlike attitude:

I will pray instead of plotting.

A recovering Gen X-er, she offers a refreshingly honest, if not muesli-brained and opinionated view on current cultural issues. Contrary to what some might believe, she is open to new ideas and is a life-long learner. Typically female, she transcends factual information and thinks she is always right. She may occasionally agree with you, though you will never know. You are wrong even when you are right. You may find her mainstream takes luke warm, but her faith runs deep and hot. You can block her, abuse her, or simply enjoy interacting with her, but you cannot shut her up.
