NOTE TO SELF: It is hard to hate people when you are praying for them.
WARNING: It is not impossible to hate people when you pray for them. It is just hard.
People who choose the path of hatred, take the path of least resistance, but it is no easy road. It is a dead end street.
People who pray for their enemies don't try to tolerate toxic behavior. They just make it harder on themselves to hate them.
Pray for those you don’t prefer, and learn to defer to God’s will. Prayer moves your heart closer to God, not to behavior He doesn't prefer.
Prayer prepares your heart to defer to His will, not evil behavior. When God changes their hearts, and your enemy turns around to shake your hand, they won’t find your tightened fist in their face.
Prayer softens your heart. Prayerlessness hardens it.
