Iyke. I am not being a wise guy here. I saw a "prayer list" recently at the church I attend. It occurred to me that the list did not include people we didn't like, or people who "rub us the wrong way". It did not list our enemies or those who take advantage of us or people who use us wrongfully.
If we only cry out for our friends we are no better than the publicans and sinners.
Obviously we should pray for missions, loved ones, etc......
Who will petition the Most High for these others??
We have been changed at my house by broadening our prayer focus to include a few scoundrels and dirty dogs. I am sure you know a few.
