It’s easy to pray for the people who have hurt us. But what about the people who have hurt others? They need our prayers just as much, if not more. So let’s take a moment to pray for them.
Why we should pray for those that hurt others
When we hear about tragedies in the news, it’s natural to feel anger towards the perpetrator. We may even find ourselves praying for their demise. But what if we took a different approach? What if instead of praying for their punishment, we prayed for their healing? It’s not easy to pray for those that have hurt us or others, but Jesus did just that. As he was dying on the cross, he prayed for forgiveness for those that crucified him. He could have asked for revenge, but he didn’t. We see throughout the Bible that God is merciful and forgiving, and we are called to emulate his character. When we pray for those that have hurt us, we are imitating Jesus and showing them the love of God. It may not be easy, but it is worth it. We should pray for their hearts to be softened and for them to see the error of their ways. Only then can they truly repent and be forgiven.
How our prayers can help those that hurt others
It is easy to feel anger and hatred towards those that have harmed us or our loved ones. We may even pray for revenge. However, research has shown that praying for those that have hurt us can lead to forgiveness and healing. Forgiveness has been linked to physical and mental health benefits, such as lowered blood pressure and reduced stress levels. It can also help us to move on from the hurt and pain that we feel. Praying for those that have hurt us does not mean that we condone their actions. Most of all we pray for those who have hurt others because we have been commanded to. Following Gods will is important to do in prayer and all parts of our life.

When we should pray for those that hurt others
It can be difficult to know how to pray for those who have hurt us or others. We may feel anger, resentment, or even fear. But God’s Word tells us that we are to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44). When we pray for those who have hurt us, we are following Jesus’ example. He prayed for those who nailed Him to the cross (Luke 23:34). And while He was hanging on the cross, He asked His Father to forgive them (Luke 23:24). Praying for those who have hurt us is not easy. But it is an important part of walking in Christ-like love. It shows that we are more concerned with their eternal well-being than we are with getting revenge. And it opens the door for God to work in their lives in ways that we may never see.
How often we should pray for those that hurt others
How often should we pray for those who hurt us? It’s a question that many of us have asked, and there are a few schools of thought on the matter. Some people believe that we should pray for those who hurt us constantly, regardless of how often they hurt us. Others believe that we should only pray for them when they are going through a tough time. And still others believe that we should only pray for them if they specifically ask us to. Personally, I believe that we should pray for those who hurt us constantly, regardless of how often they hurt us. I think that it’s important to remember that everyone is fighting their own battles, and even the people who seem like they have everything together may be going through something difficult that we don’t know about. Additionally, I think it’s important to remember that everyone is human and capable of making mistakes. We all need forgiveness, and praying for those who have hurt us is one way to extend that forgiveness.
