Pray for Them

One Sunday morning, Dwight L. Moody entered a house in Chicago to escort some children to Sunday school. While in the home three men backed him into a corner and threatened to kill him. “Look here,” Moody said, “Give a fellow a chance to say his prayers, won’t you?” Amazingly enough the men actually allowed him to call upon the Lord, and he prayed for them so earnestly that they left the room.

I am not sure what I would have done in a similar situation. I probably would have been looking for a way of escape through a window or door, or trying to distract the men so I could run. But Mr. Moody followed the instructions given by the Lord Jesus when He was here on earth, and said, “Do good to them which hate you…Pray for them which despitefully use you” (Luke 6:27-28).

Praying for those that treat us badly is one way of doing good to those who hate us. Someone has said, “Returning good for good is human; returning good for evil is divine.”

Is there someone you can specially pray for today? Someone who has done you wrong, but needs the Lord?
