They were wrong. You were right to pray for her. I’m not sure why, I guess because it seems wrong not to pray for anyone facing pain.
I was chastised for praying for the well-being of someone who has committed such atrocities and spews such evil under the color of law. In some ways she is right, but I know I must pray for someone who was/is suffering. To want that person to be able to commit even more against God is also wrong
