Dear God,

Why must we want evil done to our enemy?  Even in the scriptures, the faithful will ask for help for themselves and for you to pour death on their enemies.  I do not understand.

While there are those I dislike very much, even hate, like lying, manipulating people like Donald Trump, I do not ask you to do them harm.  How can I legitimately ask you to help me and harm someone else?  How can I expect your provision for me?

Teach us tolerance,

O God.

Help us pray

for our neighbor

and even

our enemy.

Show us

the way

of Jesus.

Love, Andrea
