a prayer for my enemies – v2


A prayer for my enemies
for those who would hurt me
a prayer for 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 sin, their evil ways

A prayer of forgiveness
for those who would hurt me
I let go of my hands, my grip,
around their necks

A prayer for redemption for me
for all of them, for us, together,
that God’s love would reign
in me, in their hearts
