Want to know something interesting?
Jesus only commands prayer for one kind of person. I checked. He doesn’t say, “Pray for your friends,” or “Pray for those who like you,” or “Pray for the gentle and kind and generous.” You can do all those things, but your Lord doesn’t order you to do so. He only demands prayer for your enemies, those who mistreat (Luke 6:27) and persecute (Matthew 5:44) you.
He knows us pretty well, doesn’t he? He knows we won’t pray for the nasty folks who hate us unless he directs us to, so he directs us to.
Who do you need to pray for today?
