Father, give us a tender heart that truly loves our enemies enough to pray in earnest for them. Remove any hate that lives in our hearts. Protect our enemies from harm. Turn their hearts toward You so that they may have abundant life in You. Show us ways that we can witness to our enemies, if in no other way than by treating them as You treated Your enemies, Jesus. Fill our hearts with Your love, so that when an enemy bumps us, only love spills out, and not some other reaction that would hinder him from knowing You.
