Subject: Prayer: Father forgive them

“Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.”
Romans 12:17-18
The Gospel transforms our perspective on enemies, recalling that we were once enemies of God. The Bible teaches that breaking the cycle of hatred requires esteeming others, blessing persecutors, and praying for enemies. Peace and prayer emerge as powerful weapons, as articulated by Paul in Romans 12.

Evil can only be overcome by good, and prayer is our tether to the light. Despite enduring pain and mistreatment, God is aware and desires to heal. While judgment and vengeance belong to God, rising above hatred and revenge is urged. Praying for enemies becomes a powerful way to release hate and mirror God's heart.
