Pray for Your Enemies

By S. S. Times

PRAY for your enemies, but do not pray for them as if it were an unquestionable fact that they are all wrong, and that you are all right. If your way of praying for your enemies implies impeccability on your part, your prayer is an offense to Him who condemned the prayer of the Pharisee. Pray, by all means, that, if your enemy is in the wrong, he may be brought to see the truth; but pray also, that if you are in the wrong (and probably you are), the truth may be shown to you; and that you may have grace enough to confess your error, and, if you have done your opponent any injury, to ask that forgiveness which you profess yourself willing to bestow.—S. S. Times.
