Quote:
In prayer we go to our enemies, to stand at their side. We are with
them, near them, for them before God. Jesus does not promise us
that the enemy we love, we bless, to whom we do good, will not
abuse and persecute us. They will do so. But even in doing so, they
cannot harm and conquer us if we take this last step to them in
intercessory prayer. ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Matthew 5:44
Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

Prayer:
Father,
I find it difficult to pray for those who persecute me. Yet You
clearly instruct me to do just that. Lead me to love as You
love and to behave toward others as You. May I follow in Your
footsteps. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
