Scripture for Meditation: "But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven." — Matthew 5:44-45

Introduction: Praying for your enemies is one of the most radical and powerful commands Jesus gave us. It goes against every natural instinct. But this act of obedience is not for their benefit alone; it is for ours. It frees us from the prison of bitterness, breaks the enemy's power to cause strife, and aligns our hearts with the heart of God. When you pray for those who have wronged you, you are demonstrating the superior love of the Kingdom and positioning yourself for a breakthrough.
