a prayer for my enemies

a prayer for my enemies

for those who would hurt me

those seeking to harm me,

my loved ones, my life

a prayer that they would change

that God would speak to them

that they would repent

of their evil ways

a prayer of forgiveness

for those who would hurt me

I let go of my hands

around their necks

a prayer for redemption for me

for all of them, together,

that God’s love would reign

in me, in their hearts
