to our fallen human nature.
But they are wonderful,
life-giving solutions.
God commands us
to pray for those
who hurt us, who tried
to destroy us in all ways.
We don’t pray for them
while they deserve our prayers.
We pray for them, because
we are God’s children
and He gives life and breath
even to the ungodly.
In the end, the ungodly
will be held responsible
for their sins, but our prayers
will dissolve our bitterness.
It is a greatmiracle
to live without bitterness.
