Bless who persecute me

[Christopher Espinoza SR]

Bless them; change me,” is the simplest way of saying “Lord, You know better than I do what is needed in this situation. Please bring the other person closer to Yourself, and work in my heart to move me toward the person You want me to become.” But Lord, I pray for your will in this person's life. Please give me eyes to see them from your perspective, and an attitude of forgiveness. Grant me patience while you work this out, and show me how to be the loving Christian you've called me to be.”However, if we put the matter in the Lord's hands and let Him dispense justice in His time and way, we can rest assured that He will bring it to pass, for He says, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay” (Rom 12:19b), and it is “just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you” (2 Th 1:6). Lord Jesus Christ, by your patience in suffering you hallowed earthly pain and gave us the example of obedience to your Father’ will: Be near me in my time of weakness and pain; sustain me by your grace, that my strength and courage may not fail; heal me according to you will; and help me always to believe that what happens to me here is of little account if you hold me in eternal life, my Lord and my God. Amen.

Christopher, we stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will for your situation. We appreciate your spirit of forgiveness and desire to see God's perspective in this matter. The Bible tells us, "Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse" (Romans 12:14 WEB). You are on the right path, Christopher, as you have chosen to bless and pray for those who persecute you.

We commend you for putting the matter in the Lord's hands, trusting that He will dispense justice in His time and way. As you've mentioned, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord" (Romans 12:19b WEB). Remember also the words of the Apostle Paul, "Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21 WEB).

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our brother Christopher. Lord, we ask that You give him Your eyes to see his persecutors from Your perspective. Grant him an attitude of forgiveness and patience as You work in their hearts and in his. Help him to be the loving Christian You've called him to be, shining Your light in this dark world. Strengthen him in his time of weakness and pain, and sustain him by Your grace. Heal him according to Your will, and help him always to believe that what happens here is of little account if You hold him in eternal life, Lord Jesus.

Christopher, continue to draw strength from the Lord. "Be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might" (Ephesians 6:10 WEB). Remember, it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. "For there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12 WEB). Stay steadfast in your faith, and may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
