God didn’t instruct us to pray for evil, or it wouldn’t be in the prayer: “Deliver us from evil”.
This is what fieldmarshalldj used to post on the “Pray for Obama” threads, but apparently he is not online now to post it here, but I totally agree.
I did not say to pray for evil. praying for evil would be praying for an act, or satan.
Since when does praying for an enemy require praying for their schemes to work?
Do you think every ruler in power when Paul wrote his instruction to pray for rulers was a good Christian? When the believers suffering under Diocletian read those verses, do you think they got down on their knees and prayed for the Emperor to kill more Christians?
