I am sometimes at a loss as to how to pray for my enemies. Daily prayers sometimes seem redundant. I sometimes get to a place where I simply tell God that I do not know what to pray. I have been in one of those impasse prayers, and I was lead to these verses.

Mat 15:30-31 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them [those that were] lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them: Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

The word maimed just leaped off of the page at me. This is sort of people that I have been around my whole life.

Many of these people were born with birth defects, left in institutions, where they were taken in by this group who raised them for their own. They often turn on one another, and do terrible things to each other in their attempts to teach each other a lesson. Many are missing body parts (arms, legs, unmentionable parts, fingers, toes, internal injuries) as a result of the abuse that they have inflicted on one another. This also results in their need for medications, pain killers, and such.

I know that the Lord is able. I have wondered if He is willing. I believe that He knows who would turn to Him if they were healed, and witnessed miracles in their own lives.

So...I am asking you to stand in prayer with me for healing and restoration for any, or all of these people that God sees fit to heal and restore, as well as protection for those who turn to Him. Also pray that God would take all of the animosity and hatred from them.

Also, please continue to pray for God to give me wisdom to know how to pray for these individuals.

May they glorify God.
 
My prayers continue for the people in the above post. I would also add to this prayer that the Lord would break the controlling puppet strings that they have placed on one another through their witchcraft. . . and in fact, that all of their witchcraft, curses, post-hypnotic suggestions, and all other forms of voodoo would become completely null and void. I curse the trees of their witchcraft in the same manner that Jesus Christ cursed the fig tree. May they never bear fruit again.

Their frustrations over the Lord protection over me seems to be strong recently, and I often become a target for their anger against the Lord. The Lords promise to me:

Psalms 118:17
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.


is both a source of frustration to them, and is often taken as a dare by them. I rejoice in this, for it is through that very thing that the power of God and the love of the Lord for this child can be seen, even among the most wicked and ungodly.

I continue to pray that these folks will somehow come to recognize that the people that raised them did not have their best interest at heart. I pray that they will come to realize the lies that they were told about the Lord were indeed lies, and would begin to examine the gospel for themselves.
 
Praying that peace comes to your situation and that the love of God is shown to these people.
