A Prayer for my Enemies

Lord, I pray for my enemies
Grant them a change of heart
Let them see the harm in their actions

Lord, teach them to know
That they inflict injuries
Not only on me but also themselves
Let them know
That if I go down they go down too
Since we are all dependent
And we shall reap whatever we sow

Lord, make them see
That what goes around comes around
That no labourer will go unpaid
That you love them and wants them back

Lord, show them that I love them
These I ask of thee
Hear me O Lord (Amen)

If we could all pray for our enemies then all strife will cease.
Earth will be at peace.
Reading this has made me think.

Dear Abiola, this the prayer of a large heart!
Welcome again to the bay from my side!
Love, Zoya
