So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children. For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife. |

Although Abraham would be used in other arenas and would go on to live a life of blessing before Abimelech, at this point Abraham couldn’t preach to Abimelech because in his eyes he was a liar and a coward. Yet even though Abraham couldn’t preach to or share with Abimelech, he could still pray for him.So too, because you have fallen short in their eyes or hurt them badly, there are people to whom you may not be able to preach or with whom you may not be able to share. But this story tells me that although I may not be able to preach to them or share with them, I get to effectively bless them through prayer. When I pray for my enemies, not only does it release blessing upon them, but it keeps me from getting involved in a cycle of bitterness which will only destroy me. You cannot pray a blessing on a person and remain angry with him. It’s impossible. That’s why Jesus said, “Pray for your enemies” (see Matthew 5:44). I challenge you to pray for the people toward whom you feel bitterness or hostility, for the people you just don’t like. Pray that they’ll be healed, that they’ll prosper, that they’ll do well. God will answer your prayer, and you’ll be blessed in the process. | ||
