Pray For Those Who Mistreat You

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,Luke 6:28

Have you ever had others mistreat you, gossip about you, snub you? It is very unkind and hurtful particularly when a friend is the one doing it. 

Years ago the Ten Commandments were posted in schools and government buildings. When you see the Ten Commandments you are morally convicted, or should be, to stay under God’s protective umbrella of sorts. The devil will taunt you saying “Did Gods really say” just like in times of Adam and Eve when serpent beguiled Eve. If people followed the Ten Commandments perhaps the hurt and meanness would subside. 

Perhaps if the Ten Commandments were memorized and honored today our world would not be in such a mess. Many people can’t even name two of them. Read Exodus 20:3-17 and you will see these Commandments. Try to commit them to memory and purpose to keep them. 

PRAYER: Lord I choose to be kind and to forgive anyone who has wronged me knowingly or unknowingly. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
