You want to do something really hard this year?
You want to show God you’re serious about following him?
Start praying for the person/people who hurt you.
The one who every time you think about them it’s every feeling but good feelings.
Every time the thought of them enters your mind, pray for them.
Pray for God’s blessings on them.
Pray for God’s will for them.
Sounds impossible, doesn’t it?
Pray for God to help you do it.
Pray for God to help you mean those prayers.
Keep praying and asking for God’s help to do the hard things he asks us to do.
Because he is the God of impossible things.
You want a hard resolution this year?
It’s not running a marathon…
It’s praying for God to bless those who’ve hurt you.
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Romans 12:14
But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, / bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. Luke 6:27, 28
Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 1 Peter 3:9
