Pray for Those You DON'T Love

Penulis : A. James on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 | 6:58 PM

We make it a habit to pray for those we love, but do you pray for those you DON'T love? We'll, you should.

It is definitely easier to look at a person we don't like and want to smack the smile off their face than it is to pray for them. The bible tells us in James 5:17 (KJV) to pray for others while Matthew 6:14 (KJV) tells us that if we forgive men our heavenly Father will forgive us.

Today, make it a point to pray for those who are giving you the most trouble. After you have prayed for them once, don't let that be the end of it. Pray again and again for that person. Keep praying for them and let God take over.

God can do anything and if we just lift up our hands and pray, God, the King of Kings, will have the victory!

Just a tip: When praying for that person you DON'T love, make sure to pray that God will take control of their lives. You don't want to let your feelings toward that person affect what you pray for God to do.

If you like this, pass it along for others.

God's Word... Not Just a Book

I keep my Bible (opened) by my bed at all times because there is no protection better, aside from God Himself, to have closeby. God's Word is powerful. Keep that in mind if you are feeling scared, depressed, sick, lonely, or even the happiest you've ever been. Try it...place your opened Bible by your bed before you close your eyes at night and see if you can feel what I mean.

As for what it brings me...well, it keeps me sane and gives me piece-of-mind along with the courage I need in my everyday life and that is when I am not reading it! Just knowing it is within reach gives me a sense of contentment.

The words inside give me so much more.... Thank you, God, for giving us not just a book, but your Word.
