Working Through Our Hurts

With Regard to Our Enemies:

We should hurt for them more than we have been hurt by them!

A Prayer for Personal Transformation:

"Dear Lord, please help me to hurt for them more [in prayer on their behalf] than I have been hurt by them [in this lifetime]."

Scriptural Foundation for Personal Transformation:

"But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous."

Matthew 5:44-45 (NIV)
